PGR - Welcome Home Heath Harbison USN Oakland 10 25 07

Pics are from top to bottom, text for a pic is under the pic, click on a pic for a larger pic!

Welcome home Heath!!! That was the mission and a fun one it was. I arrived about 1030 at Bob Dron's Harley 151 Hegenberger Rd, just outside the airport. The next time we meet there, please go in and check out the scoots. He has a FINE bunch of bikes.

Following arrivals were Phil from Cupertino, Mark from Concord, Kieth and Nick from Morgan Hill and Doug (Sgtmaj) met us in the airport, I guess he just missed us at Bob's.

Debbie, Heath's mom, Dotty and a Gold Star Mom met us and I'm sorry I forgot her name to say Hi, hugs and intro's!!! Thank you for stopping by!!! MUCH appreciated!!!



Choppers!!! Gorgeous scoots!!! Nick's bike.



Real fine looking machines!!! Kieth's bike.


OK, it's a rule, bike riders get together and we have to check out the bikes, that's the way we learn neat mods!!! GBG Phil talking about his scoot, Mark's scoot to the right and it had a nice paint job also.



Lined up and waiting at arrivals terminal 2... Gold Star Mom, Mark, Debbie, Cranky, Phil, Kieth, Nick and Dotty!



Another pic as the first was not a good pic of Debbie.



Our returning hero!!! Heath!!! Big smiles and hugs! Thank you for your service!



So we got a twofer!!! Heath's long time friend and one who served with him was coming for the wedding also and he arrived about 1/2 hour after Heath. I think it was Walt. They hadn't seen each other for years... big hugs!!

Walt was kind of surprised at the welcome!! Big smile, greetings and thanks, from both sides!

It is always a pleasure to see the big smiles when we great returning heroes, that includes ours also!!!

It was an honor and pleasure to meet this fine group of folks! A side note, another PGR rider from the south that was escaping the fires was there and he walked over to talk, I forget the name, he wanted to thank us for doing this and said we should be doing more of this. I thanked him for riding.

And I also want to thank all that rode today!!! Your being there makes a difference!
