Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you: 1. Jesus Christ. 2. The American G.I. One died for your soul, the other for your Freedom. |

The time of the event will be 14:30. Historically, we have staged at Hoops Park, at least one hour prior to the event. Hoops Park is on E. 6th Avenue, 1.43 miles East of I-225 on the South side of E. 6th Avenue. The cross street is Norfolk.

The way to a long life is to keep breathing as long as possible. Diet and exercise do not make you live longer, they only make it seem longer. |

To Clarify, the information that you must get to Road Dog by tomorrow is as follows:
Last name, first name and middle initial
Date of birth
Drivers license number, state of issue and expiration date (vehicle license number is not required)
Last four digits of your Social Security Number
I have been in communications with the personnel working for the Base Community Relations Officer and was advised today that these are the requirements.

| Please note also folks, riding requirements will be the same as Ft. Carson- long sleeves or jacket, reflective vest ($2 from WalMart is sufficient), full fingered gloves, over the ankle shoes or boots, helmet. Please send me your info as shown on the revised requirements above. I'll need to turn them in by tonight. I'll also post staging info, but believe we'll be meeting tomorrow at 1:30 at the Hoops park as usual. Will post more as I get home this evening. |

Ooops! Change of plan--I've got munchkin duty and think with the 3 hour drive each way, it will be a bit much for a four year old.
I'll be there in spirit. |

What an HONOR it was to welcome these Heroes home. I was touched by the fact that most of them took the time to thank us for what we do. They said it comforted them to know we had there backs here at home. They are a real special
bunch of guys. |
