Patriot Guard Funeral Escort

Patriot Guard funeral Escort Loch David Crane August, 2008 Today is sunny: with three dozen bikes, some decorated cars, a pair of trikes, two dozen Marines: all of the family and toddlers to set their Daddy free into the Great Beyond beyond the sky where loved ones send their veterans who die. Below our feet the stones give way to grass where they are neatly trimmed; and as we pass the names of strangers stare into the air and we look back, wondering who lies there. I won't step on a grave--I'll walk around so not to insult those within the ground. We ride at funerals honoring those vets, brave men and women we have never met.
