Good work DAKSY!
Good on you Daksy. God Bless that soldier's family for his and their sacrifice........
It's terrible to lose an American hero like that, especially this time of the year.......

Indeed it is, Scotty. The escort traveled past two public schools & all the students & faculty were lining the street waving flags & holding banners. I rode the Lead Flag Bike & it was so freekin cold that my eyewear froze to my face from the tears streaming down. Damn winter pollen...
You are a good man, Daksy. I mean it. The type of thing you did for this soldier is one of the things that REALLY makes me proud to be an American....

It's DAKSY, & thanx. I was the lead flag bike & for the most part that ride was pretty emotional, especially at the school in Mechanicville...It rained hard at about that time & I just shrugged it off. That young Marine is never again gonna feel the rain on his face, my discomfort PALES in comparison...

With Kevin Bacon in it, it is about a military escort for a Marine that was KIA and follows the trip bringing the Marine back home. Dasky, I am glad that you and those like you do what you do for our fallen....
