hutchies Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Rode with the Patriot Guard Riders in an escort for a local soldier that passed away in Afghanistan. American flags lined the streets as people paid their respects. We had about 125 motorcycles total and it was quite a train for the 20 mile ride as we passed people weeping and standing with hands on hearts or full salute. I've never experienced the patriotism that I saw yesterday. Here are some pics from the airport......... http://www.ardmoreite.com/photos/x868580271/Photo-Gallery-Procession-for-2nd-Lt-Joe-Cunningham?page=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
