Just a heads up for anyone who is interested, the Patriot Guard will be in Greenville tomorrow at Major's Field to welcome home the body of STAFF SGT. CHAUNCY R. MAYS (25) US ARMY. I'll be out there representing the Combat Vets Motorcycle Association, but if you have a bike, have nothing to do tomorrow and would like to pay your respects, here is your opportunity.

My EAS is tomorrow, or else is be down. By flag line do you mean like protest blocking flag line? Sorry if its a dumb question, just curious if you're worried about the westboro types coming out.
My condolences to the fallen and family.Comment

wish i wasn't working tomorrow or i would be out on my bike supporting a fallen hero.Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting “Holy shit, what a ride!”Comment

Well, there were about 100 to 150 bikes out today. It was a long ride and I had to break off going through Sulphur because my radiator fan went out on the bike, but it was an honor to ride behind the Staff SargentI wear a Fez. Fez-es are coolComment
