cowpuc Posted July 21, 2014 #1 Posted July 21, 2014 Some of BikerJohn's last words to me before we departed The Dalles Oregon, VentureWest Rally a few days ago were "could you do me favor, please put a new flag on Tweeks".. The flag on Tweeks at the time was one I had rescued from the side of the highway.. I was headed for Sturgis on 90 at the time, and there it layed, calling my name.. Later in that trip is when I met a now good friend of mine, Ranger Major Cloyd Smith,, a great story in itself of which I have written about.. I could hear in John's tone of voice the love he has for our Flag and Country. Of course, I agreed with his asking with the full intent of swapping my worn American Flag out soon.. While at Raggys party yesterday Raggy came to me and asked if I would like a new Flag for Tweeks.. Coulda nocked me over with a stick... I told Raggy about the conversation John and I had had and he totally understood my shock.. I also told him I was really expecting Tweeks next flag to come as a result of another highway rescue BUT, coming from Raggy, it would be perfect!! Raggy agreed to do the removal and the lifting of the new one.. It was a very special moment.. I am like most of you, sensitive about our flag because of what it stands for.. As Raggy and I talked about the offer of the new flag, the subject in this very short video came up.. Watch it and you will see another reason why I could not refuse Raggys offer! There ya go John,, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!! THANK YOU RAGTOP69GS!!! PROUDLY SHE WAVES OLD GLORY!! Puc

ragtop69gs Posted July 21, 2014 #4 Posted July 21, 2014 I'm with you John, I couldn't let the old Pucster leave with that nub of a flag on tweeks, she deserves a good display of Old Glory.
