Spc. Clayton McGarrah R.I.P.

Hey Gang,

Honor and Respect is something we talk about and strive to do everyday inside and outside the Dojo. Yesterday I joined the Patriot Guard Riders in Honoring Spc. Clayton McGarrah. I knew Clayton, and know his Father Bo and his Mother Michelle, they are good people. I have to tell you that ride was something that I will take with me for the rest of my life.
We estimated over 450 motorcycles and throngs of people were out in support. 20 of us met at FedEx Freight and rode to the rallying point, (American Legion) on Hwy. 7 South. There we were met by hundreds of bikers and more arriving behind us. We had our meeting then all the bikes started up and we rode to the church for the funeral. We had a honor guard with flags leading into the church and everybody else was hydrating and waiting to help one another. After the funeral we rode in a huge procession to the graveside service at Maplewood Cemetary. I have to say seeing all the outpouring with people lining the road on both sides holding flags and signs of support and waving and giving a thumbs up sign was overwhelming.
I was filled with Pride, Patriotism, and humbled at what we accomplished as a whole. All I can say is God Bless America and the common person.

Peace..........And let's keep rollin'.................
