To all my Brothers in the U.S. Veterans MC :

The Holidays have passed. The riding season is still around for all my Brothers from the USVMC. We here in the North East ride year around. But please be very careful out there. Even with no snow on the ground, cold roads can be very slick. There is also the sand and the salt on the sides and corners. We've had a year filled with lots of missions for our soldiers that have served and those that are still serving. Never forget those who have paid the ultimate price. Never forget our POW-MIA, and all those that have served to protect the freedom of our country.

With Respect for all Vets.

A little note of what this club is really about :

WHY VETERANS REUNITE

" I now why men who have been to war yearn to reunite. Not to tell stories or look at old pictures. Not to laugh or weep.

Comrades gather because they long to be with men who once acted at their best; men who suffered and sacrificed, who were stripped of their humanity. I did not pick these men. They were delivered by fate and the military. But I know them in a way I know of no other men. I have never given anyone such trust. They were willing to guard something more precious than my life. They would have carried my reputation, the memory of me. It was part of the bargain we all made, the reason we were all so willing to die for one another. As long as I have memory, I will think of them all, every day. I am sure when I leave this world, my last thoughts will be of my family and my comrades...such good men."
