| A Southern California PGR Challenge (Show the rest that we're the Best)
I most certainly will be there. I would like to see a large gathering for this homecoming. Let's make this a great day for these Marines as they more than deserve it. Let's show them how proud we are of their service. So come out and shake some hands, give some hugs, and show them some badly needed camaraderie. This unit had many downfalls & casualties and really needs a boost. I know it is an odd hour for this mission, but think off all the odd hours this unit has done under pressure. The feelings you will share with them will last a lifetime for both yourself and these Marines because you know in kind where their coming from. Thank You - Make Me Proud As Always

'No Greater Love is this that a man is willing to lay down his life for another.' Only two men were willing to sacrifice their lives for us-Jesus Christ and the American Soldier. Neither of which can ever fully be repaid.
Thank you for your Service and my Freedoms. Your sacrifices will never go unnoticed. I am grateful to live in a country made up of volunteers like you. Your choice to protect our Nation and put your self on the line can never be repaid.

| For my first time to a Welcome Home event, even with the delays, It was absolutly awsome. We started with 7 Riders but due to a nail in the tire and a fast fix, a reluctant withdraw for safety reasons brought us to 6. Starting at the gate at March ARB when the busses started rolling out, blasts from our horns and flags flying, the smiles on the faces of the Marines put me into the frame of mind that this was going stay with me for the rest of my life. We kept rear guard on the busses until we were near the base then 3 went to the front of the line escorting the 244 Marines through the gate. People along the road cheering, banner waving and all the banners hung along the fences was excellent. After dropping their wares at the armory, escorting these True Heros to Victory Field (perfect name) where their families were waiting gave me a feeling that this is a tremedous event that everyone should attend. Just shaking of hands and hugs with a welcome home to some of these Marines, the right words I lack to describe this. Also the Thank You's that were received from civilians was a feeling that the small part we played seemed more than deserved. Even after the mission was complete the thank you's continued during our breakfast stop. I was very, very proud of my co-riders and knew I was in supurb company, the Best in the West. I'm still on a high and to be honest, still dropping tears at the thoughts of this mission. When you start with a great crew you get a great mission. This one was beyond great. I'm humbled. |
