| Welcome Home 150th. What an Honor to participate in this Day. Although the morning weather was a little challenging, nothing compared to what these Heroes endured, the afternoon was truly a Blessing from God. All home SAFE and sound with their families. I'll never forget the people I met on 27 July 2007 and wish them all well. God Bless. |

| Talked to CW4 McClure last night and here's a few notes for ya: Although there were 59 troops returning the crowd was sized at roughly 1,000 people. That's community support! When we started up the bikes, he said people turned around, started cheering, and started towards the tarmac. They knew. He said they had to tell them to remain at the hanger. When we came back with the second plane, he said they started cheering, screaming, and clapping. Excitement, huh! He said it was awesome. The banner was presented to Col. Graham and the end of their ceremony, and the troops wanted it hung in their hanger on the wall. He also told me, we don't know it, but we are part of the 150th now, so welcome to and welcome back to the Army, all of you. LOL!! The 150th considers us their family also, and we will be part of any ceremony they have. That comes from the troops, I was told. They claim us as brothers. Bob informed me he took lots of pics and a video. He said there were things we didn't see 'cause we were busy "doing our thing", but he'll get them to me ASAP. He'll also make a copy of the video, and send it to me. I'd like to send it around to everyone to see, but we'll wait and see. Pretty cool, huh!! You see, PGR, we do make a difference.
Ride safe,
