I asked the Patriot Guard to come in and ride in to the school for a Memorial Day assembly we were having at school this past Friday. I have been trying to get this set up and arranged since October so I have been really working hard at this. I was in charge of getting the Patriot Guard there and setting it up to have one of them talk.
I have to say from my end it was very cool. We had around 9 bikes and a police escort through town. The police officer was AWESOME and he was really funny. The Patriot Guard people seemed excited to be talking to kids.
They brought bracelets that say "I Support Our Troops" for all the kids to have. The Superintendent showed up and the newspaper showed up. I think the kids will remember it and some of the guys from the Patriot Guard said they would try to have more bikes next year. So they are thinking about next year and that is awesome. Hopefully we can get a ton more bikes but for our first year I think it was a great turnout.
Next year I just hope that the peeps in charge plan what is happening around the Patriot Guard a bit better. But Jenni took some pictures of the whole thing and I can't WAIT to see them. She is a professional photographer so the pictures should be amazing! Hopefully I will have some to share with everyone soon.
Happy Memorial Day all. Thank a Veteran for their service and remember those that have passed on.
