I rode in two parades with the Patriot Guard Riders today- - - -one in Nashville Tennessee, 16 blocks down Braodway near the head of the Vets' Day parade- - -We followed a big military vehicle that just happened to be ridden by the Tennessee Titans cheerleaders! Several wounded warriors were also on that vehicle.

Then it was off to Lebanon, Tennessee, about 30 miles east of Nashville. For the past several years, a local handicapped veteran has made the 30+ mile walk from the state capitol in Nashville to a veterans' memorial on the town square in Lebanon. The PGR escorted him the last couple of miles on his walk. He started about 6:00 AM today, and finished up just before 5:00 PM. This is his 4th. or 5th. time to make the trip. Incredible dedication!

To all our vets, past present and future, THANK YOU for your service!
