We had
an honor guard meeting for a practice
Flag Raising
at the
Knoxville Harley-Davidson on Clinton Hwy this coming Sunday, May 4th.
at 1pm.
Everyone was
welcome to come and participate,
It would a
good idea if other folks learn so as to step in in case they are
needed in the future. It would be really nice to have this
thing to where we could actually have two honor guards at the same time.

This event
also turned out even better then we had hoped for.
1st off, It
was a fantastic weather day.
2nd, most
of us arrived late due to staying at the airport to welcome home 3
more soldiers we found out about while we were there for the first
one's landing. It turned out that something came up at the home
that caused our time with the Vets to run behind an hour which turned
out perfect. The main bunch arrived at 2pm and paraded the
bikes around the parking lot for all the residents to see prior to
our visiting with them all.
May 13th
