PGR rides for wounded warriors

[barend]

The Patriot Guard escorted some 30 wounded Marines from the Greenville/Pickens Speedway through Easley and Clemson (SC) to Keowee Key for a week long "rehabilitation vacation". Thanks to some fancy dilly-dallying around I managed to 'spend' some extra time on one of my properties to allow me an opportunity to have a front row seat at the beginning of the run. My guess is that there were probably some 100 bikes escorting these guys. I'm sorry to say that the coach they were in had dark tinted windows and you couldn't see them!!!

 

And due to the miracle of technology I can't seem to attach pictures:soapbox:

I work for Keowee Key Property Owners' Association, so I was at the Keowee Key end of the trip -- not on a bike, but wearing my Boy Scout leader's uniform and standing with my Cub Scout son. We were waving flags with hundreds of other people as they entered Keowee Key. I counted 118 motorcycles in the escort, along with two fire engines, numerous sheriff cars and other vehicles. These Marines will be well honored over the next few days. I hope it makes a difference for them.
