On occasion I ride with the Patriot Guard Riders here in Georgia. Today, I wish I could be with them as 1,000,000 riders and bikers descend on our capital in Washington, D.C..
Most are war veterans who remember what it was like to come home to hatred in the Vietnam era. To be spit upon and be denied meals and lodging. To have rotten vegetables thrown at them. Those former veterans vowed it would never happen to another soldier who was called upon to fight for this country.
Today they ride in remembrance of what happened on this day in 2001. I think every American remembers where they were and what they were doing on that fateful Tuesday. Personally, I was home and I watched in horror as everyone else did near a television as the towers were hit and as they fell.
Some of the 1,000,000 bikers ride for another reason. It is in protest over another war that no one wants. I am behind them 100% on this as well. Let us never forget what happened to the twin towers and who was behind it. I cannot support an attack that would support these terrorists.
Let us never forget! Please support your veterans in any way you can. A little goes a long way for them and their families.
