I thank my father and all his brothers/sisters for everything they have given, as well as taught me and my family through their selfless acts of courage and patriotism.
God Bless them all... May those gone RIP...

Just Damm...
Nam Knights America MC honored me with a life time membership. After 15 yrs helping honor our Brother Veterans in Milledgeville Veterans home, and Baldomero Veterans Home in Fla and Family's we could, my Chapter of Nam Knight were transferred. Out of the original starting members which was 10, all are passed but myself and two of my Brothers. I don't believe they are going to honor our Brothers, this year at Rolling Thunder in DC or Pensacola..I cannot go anymore due to health concerns for my Bride..Lord knows I loved the run and over 1,200 knights getting together...KFFK ! Thanks to all for remembering...
Thank you gentlemen. PLEASE use this opportunity to call one just to see how they are doing. I just did upon seeing this post. Had been trying to contact him for months and couldn't catch him. I was getting worried. All is well.
