Any locals besides me gonna be there? I was part of the escort last year and the event was mind numbing. You do not need to be a member of the PGR to ride or attend this event.
I was in the shower when my father made a chilling statement that one of the twin towers was on fire, I wrapped a towel around my waist to see the TV, at that time the second plane was captured on screen as it approached the second tower. I went numb and stood there in a trance. When my senses returned I called my 1SG to see if he had the TV on, he didnt (we had an inspection scheduled for my station that morning). I explained what I knew to him as he turned on the TV. He was speechless and said he would call back. I got dressed, and readied myself the best I could for the day. I was on active duty as a recruiter on this fatefull day. I spent the day partly in shock and took as many phone calls as I could. To see those firefighters and LEOs in action, words alone will never describe their heroics. If you do nothing else on this day, say a silent word of thanks to these special people and remember their selfless deeds.
May God continue to bless America and ALL it's people.
