American Legion Riders
Posted: Sun Sep 23, 2012 6:08 pm
I recently joined our local American Legion Post #123, and signed on with the Legion Riders of that organization.
The Legion Riders offer honorary motorcycle escorts for Military funerals, returning servicemen and women, and such as that.
Today was my first riding opportunity as one of the escorts.
We escorted Greg Williams, an injured Iraqi Veteran on his trip for an honors reception at the Legion Post.
I was completely overwhelmed by the family's gratitude they extended to each one of us personally for the escort today.
To be honest I was somewhat skeptical at first if I really wanted to do this regularly,
but after today there is no doubt that I will be riding with them every opportunity I am able to.
Attached is a picture taken while we were forming up to leave, if I get any more pics soon I will post them as well.
