I just wanted to thank all of you who make this a reality for our veterans. I just picked up my old neighbor from the trip to Washington D.C. today, and I can’t put into words how much this trip meant to him. He was so proud to get such a warm welcome home! Something (I think) he never received when he returned home from WWll. I know my father never received such a welcome when he returned home from The Korean War, he said: ” I was lucky to get a cold cup of coffee and a stale donut “. I want to thank all of the sponsors, the guardians and the volunteers. And a special thanks to the Legion Riders & Patriot Guard Riders of Arizona, you guys and gals put tears in his eyes when you shook his hand.
God Bless all of you
And
God Bless America
