Over the weekend, some very close friends of mine redeployed home - my wife included! Upon realizing that my initial design failed, I enlisted the help of a Veteran (retired machinist) and his wife (retired seamstress) at 0700 on a Sunday. They promptly provided the much needed assist.
With no time to spare, we rigged up a strong flag and flag pole assembly that mounted to my trailer hitch. I loaded up the kids and her friends/family and we rolled down the interstate with a bunch of bikes leading the charge for the Patriot Guard as we escorted her unit home.
To those that have sacrificed so much and the ones that paid the ultimate price, I honor you. I will remember you and I salute you.
