Honoring Our Defenders of Freedom
Rolling
Thunder® Tennessee Chapter 3 pauses to reflect on the many
sacrifices of those who have worn or now wear the uniform of our
armed forces. To those brave men and women of our military who
have served in harms way we say thank you. To those family
members who have given their sons and daughters in service to our
Nation we say we are grateful. To our departed comrades who
have made the ultimate sacrifice and laid down their lives in the
defense of our freedom we say you will never be forgotten. We
ask that all who read this take time this Veteran’s Day to thank
those who truly make this country the Land of the Free and
because of them
we
are the Home of the Brave.

Obtained
on 11/12/07 from The Citizen Tribune in Morristown at
In their honor The roar of hundreds of flag-bearing motorcycles greeted a throng of cheering spectators lined along Morristown’s Main Street during the Veterans Day Parade Sunday.
Members of
Rolling Thunder, the Patriot Guard riders, the Combat Wounded
Veterans riders, and AMVET riders revved their engines all along the
parade route to the delight of onlookers, from young to old.
Grand
marshalls in class A uniforms riding in a stretch limousine were CW4
Elwood Hastie and Company K Korean War veterans that were deployed
from Morristown in the 1950s.
The veterans
enjoyed calling their wartime buddies on cell phones to let them know
they were riding in style.
Spectators
were treated to a moving car show as veterans of several wars, local
dignitaries, and Gold Star mother, Mrs. Pat Black from Tellico Plains
and Gold Star wife Amanda Thomanson of Jefferson City and her
children waved from dozens of vintage cars and trucks, the mint
condition exteriors glistening in the afternoon sun.
Tennessee
walking horses in patriotic regalia pranced their way up the hill
toward the Courthouse in the midst of high school bands, boy scout
troops and cub scouts walking with their parents.
The moving
mountain of the TNARNG 190th Engineering Company rumbled under the
overhead sidewalks as Humvees, 5-ton trucks, a flatbed trailer
carrying an M-9 ACE, along with the massive Hemmitt wrecker wowed the crowed.
The parade
route ended at the Hamblen County Court House, where an M-9 ACE
actually used in Iraq was on display.
The Court
House lawn was filled with spectators who walked the parade route to
participate in ceremonies honoring veterans.
Present were
Congressman David Davis, Morristown City Mayor Sami Barile, Hamblen
County Mayor David Purkey, along with keynote speaker John Mitchell.
Moving remarks
were given by Hastie and Black, whose son was killed in Fallujah, Iraq.
Parade
coordinator Jason Anders was "amazed" at the turnout.
"We put a
lot of effort into it," said Anders. "All the motorcycles
and the WWII veterans that showed up made me so proud to be a veteran. "We honestly weren’t anticipating the response. It was wonderful." The parade was sponsored by the American Veterans Association Post #7. |
On
behalf of myself and my wife Misty, and the AMVETS Post 7
we would like
to thank each and everyone of you for participating in our Veterans
Day Parade. Please tell all your members we very much appreciate it.
It was a big turnout "the biggest ever" and I have had a
ton of phone calls yesterday and today about the parade. I hope all
was well with everyone. If there are any concerns or comments please
let me know. We very much hope to have a good working relationship
with everyone.
