The Guy second on the left looks a lot like Willie G Davidson the Grandson of the Davidson in Harley Davidson a Hell of a lot of ex servicemen become Bikers in the USA
I'm from Cincinnati.
As his funeral motorcade went down 1-71, people actually stopped on the highway and got out of their cars. Some even brought flags to wave at overpasses....
Patriotism, respect, honor, valor, duty--things the left don't honor and don't understand.
Sadly a lot of those guys are members of the Patriot Guard and they HAVE to be there to keep Fred Phelps and his inbred idiot "God hates Fags" sign toting followers/family from picketing the funerals of our honored dead. >:(
I am glad America honors her troops and veterans now. There was no honor for Vietnam vets and that lack of respect will not happen again. The Patriot Guard Riders was started by Vietnam vets to ensure that all and any of our veterans are fully honored.
Oh look a row of morons
We English are never informed of returning soldiers or the route they are to take. Makes lining the streets a bit difficult but its something I'd like to do.
Yabusame.
I saw something on Look North the other day about a parade for returning soldiers. It had a big tirnout and there were no anti-war shitheads/Islamists/Lefties there to ruin it.
Still, we don't do enough. We should follow America's example.
Oh, how cute. anonymous thought he saw his friends.
Forgetting for the moment that he has none.
Which goes a ways to explain why he's so bitter.
Yabusame - the Patriot Guard Riders assemble only by invitation, which is undoubtedly how they knew where to be.
