Went to see it a couple of years ago in Johnson City, Tn. It was a sobering experience. Worth the trip for sure.

 

When I was stationed at Beale AFB in CA, I had the honor to assist in finding the names they wanted to see and then escorting (in service dress) them to the wall. Talk about a pure honor and also tough as hell to watch.

 

I have to work that Wednesday, but am off the rest of those days. I am going to go, anyone want to hook up any of those days, 11/11, 11/12, 11/13, and ride, let me know?

 

That would be the Ocala Rally weekend.......

 

Probably be able to find someone Fri or Sat to ride down with then. Be enough bikes in town!

 

If my parents don't go, someone please go pull up in our driveway and blub blub blub till at least my Mom comes out. This is maybe 3 miles from my house and if they don't go, at least for me, I will be quite sad.
