I wish to give back to those who gave to me and my children.  I am a Marine (1989 - 1993) and I recently bought a Harley;  if it's not raining I am riding, and I would like to ride with the Texas Patriot Guard Riders.  I wish to continue to serve a greater good for those who have made the ultimate sacrifice and I also wish to inspire my children to do the same.  We honor our veterans every day, not just on National Holidays.  I am also an Officer of the VFW in my local area.  I think it is important to spread the sentiments honor and freedom, help those who are mourning to do so in peace, and honor those who have sacrificed.
