My Heart goes out to you,
To His wife, who will miss and suffer his lost for the rest of her life, she has peace knowing he gave his all for each of us, some my dispute some my even hate but they have that right because of what he and others like him gave.
His Children, who will also feel the lost and may not understand the whys, when Daddy is no there to help to lean on or to learn from, but they too in time will learn why he gave all, so that they and others have the right to be free.
To be free is hard to understand , even if we do not agree on many things the fact that we can do so was given to us by people like Petty Officer Gary Rovinski who stood tall and proud,
It is so easy for me to sit here and say these things and they may sound good and even touch you, but we will never truly understand or know unless we too have lost a loved one and must now go on thru life and all its struggles of what a lost brings us.
I can only say that for me and my family, I owe every minute , every Hour,and every night I share with my family to folks like this.
I can only Pray and Hope we don’t forget them as well as the families that are left to suffer.
When they are alone and just among them self’s who will help who will pray who will help them heal.
I don’t have an answer but I have the love and the heart to say I owe you my all..
God Bless and I and My family thank you

I notice there may be a group that is going to rally in Pekin. I live in Fairview and you would pass near me no matter what route you take. I would like to know the route you will be taking about approximate times so that I may join you as you pass near my area
Thanks |

Tentative rally point for Davenport/Iowa QCA will be the Java_Java parking lot. (same last week's mission for Caleb Lufkin) Once schedule is finalized, details will be posted by either Java_len or myself. Please contact either of us for directions if you are coming from outside the QCA and want to join us in riding to Galesburg.
Ride safe,

Depending on Veach's schedual with his son, we usually ride Smithville RD to Il 116 to IL97, so Il 97 and Il 116 or just north in Rapatee would intersect with you. Check profile for my cell #.

Looks like I will plan to meet up with you all in Pekin.
Unless there is anyone from the Champaign/Urbana area that wants to ride with me from the CU area to Pekin. If so, just shoot me an email: chris@inaharabladecrafts.com
Best Regards.

Depends on time we will need to leave and what day. youngest boy leaves out of peoria airport on saturday at 9:00 am. have to play it by ear for now. I'll stay in touch---veach
I'd be interested in meeting up for some ride partners, also depending on dates and times. May God bless the protectors of our freedom.
