Grew up in the area, got out first chance I could. Served with the 82nd during the early-mid 80's. My Grandfather's burial at Arlington in the early 90's was one of the most awe inspiring moment of my life.
As far as Patriotic goes, one side of my family made muskets, cannons, anchors, and many other items made of iron used in the Revolutionary war. The other side arrived a bit later.
During the Civil war, one side fought with the Union, the other with the Confederacy. One was a promising Union General that was shot by a Confederate sniper at over 300 yards away. Nice shot, no hard feelings. With a musket!
Good thing we starting fighting together. My ancestors fought and some died in every war since, untill Granada. That was about 2 years before my service. No wars when I served.
Sadly have to admit that I'm the last member of a fairly extended family to have served in the Armed Forces, and I was discharged 25 years ago. I like to believe that this the greatest gift that we can leave.
Freedom isn't free.
Oh yeah, Guess I should say something about Harley's. Not much to say. Waited all my life. Should have done it 20 years ago. Wish I could have. Could have bought something else along the way, but it wouldn't have been a Harley. It is. And I love it.
