So I was just about to get on my cranky machine for a 15+ mile ride to make up for not getting any exercise yesterday due to a great PGR mission and blink... RUSH/FLASH TODAY appeared in my email...
Less than 1 hour from notice to KSU for the ride, I thought... gotta do it, not many can under this time line....
TEN (10) bikes showed up!!!!! Fee Nom In AL!!!!!! Thanks to all that ride! God Bless!
Army Specialist Kester Willy (our bagpiper's son) was coming into San Jose! And a ride was on the books...
I pulled into the staging point and didn't expect to see anyone yet, and there were 8 bikes already there!!!! I made 9 and Doug met us before escort home.. Ahem, he was a tad late.... What's that Spike???!!! I can't hear you!! GBG
Waiting for KSU... Mom in the red...
The arrangement with security at our airports is fantastic, thank you again SgtMaj!!!
We had a few minutes to spare, getting ready to line up....
Mom taking pics, she was just soooo excited, and for very great reasons!!!
Kester finally made it off the plane, beaming mom and son!
Kester thought he was just going to walk through the line... not so fast!!! GBG We all got our hugs in!
More hugs..
Off to Pleasonton and we arrive at home with just a tad bit of noise... all the neighbors came out for the welcome home.
Ok, you have to take a pic of the bikes... we were spread out but this a few...
Greatings and hugs... The troops coming home get their fill of all the hugs they've been missing for sooooo long! Well deserved!
Don giving Kester a PGR pin...
Of course there are dues to be paid! We have to have our colective picture taken.
More hugs....
Sign says it all....
Blue Moon wheat ale with an orange slice.... Hope it was the absolute best of the best! God Bless and Welcome Home!!!
