Memorial Day

[CR400]

I'd like to take the time today to send out a big THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

To all you ladies who may have served in the American Armed Forces.

Also to any ladies who have been a support to a husband or a child who has served.

Also thanks to any of my Aussie, Kiwi, or UK sisters that have helped us over the past century.

If I've forgotten some one sorry.

uhm, any TE'ers reading this who may be serving right now and uhm....

Check out this cross country ride which benefits the Wounded Warrior Project an organization that raises awareness of and provides support and services to wounded vets and their families.

And it's going on right now.

If anyone is in the Athens GA area and then they are on the way to Atlanta...ride ends in San Diego.

There's a place on the site where you can send a message of support to the riders and of course sponsor the ride. There are women on the ride, wonder if we could get a ride report?

I don't think I mentioned yesterday I arrived at the Niles ride start before Bikerz, Jobob and Winndance, two men rode in on their bikes and we chatted as put their (a Klein, and something Italian I've never heard of) bikes up on the rack. The younger one mentioned that he was a Vietnam vet and returned basicly a paraplegic.

I mentioned I do not see a handcycle anywhere here, wow, you're doing real well.

Amazing how cycling can heal so many things and some say the planet.

My brother is stationed in Dubai. We don't get to know exactly where he is most of the time, only when he returns to Dubai and sends email. He doesn't like the situation the military is in. We worry.

Thank you to everyone doing a very difficult job.
