"That was a fantastic ride from Marianna, Florida to Apalachicola, Florida. We rode through Altha, Blountstown, Wewahitchka, and Port St Joe. In each of these towns, schools had let students out, and they were on the sidewalks, as were business people, and people just wanting to see. They all had signs with praise to veterans. In Port St Joe, we rode by a nursing home and the residents were out on benches, in wheel chairs and some standing and waving as we rode by. Many people along the way were flying flags. Many had large pictures of soldiers who had served, and some had pictures of KIA and MIA soldiers. All that was a total surprise to all of us who rode. I let a few, well, lots of tears flow as we rode by."
