President Abraham Lincoln stated in the Gettysburg Address:



"From these honored dead we take increased devotion to

that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion - that we
here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain."



Dying for Freedom isn't the worst that could
happen...BEING FORGOTTEN IS!



Respect and truth, not law, counters the obnoxious!

Sgt. Amanda Pinson has given the greatest measure of support for her nation that one person can give. We owe it to her memory, and especially to her family, the greatest measure of respect and support we can give here and now. Our hearts and our thoughts are with them and for them in this trying time.

If they let us, we will ride. Standing by;

I am a biker, a modern-day knight of the road.
I protect the weak, walk tall, and stand proud.
My word is my bond. I stick to my guns. I don't take any crap.
LIFE IS NOT A DRILL. Being a biker is a way of life I hold in high regard and with a burning passion for the open road and for life.
I know this... People will always talk about me, especially when they envy me and the life I live.
I let them talk, I affected their lives, they didn't affect mine.
I ride. I go forth and ride! When in doubt I ride.
That is what I do... RIDE.

Life's journey is not about arriving at the grave in a well preserved body, but rather sliding in sideways, totally worn out, screaming - "HOLY COW MAN, WHAT A RIDE!"

WE SHALL NO LONGER BE KNOW AS HILLBILLY REDNECKS>>> WE SHALL HENCEFORTH BE KNOWN AS APPALACHIAN-AMERICANS!!!

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body. But rather to skid in sideways, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"
