We hope you all enjoyed Memorial Day weekend. Jan and I sure did. Driving through the Missouri country side gave us plenty of reminders of why we have the freedom to ride. Every cemetery we passed had American flags out as did many homes and businesses.

Monday was spent at the St. Louis zoo with our granddaughter, her parents and the in-laws. A blessed day celebrated with no worries or fears. As I rode home I reflected on our military out in the world fighting for our freedom. Jan and I were so very grateful to have enjoyed the weekend. The freedom to ride, the freedom to explore the countryside, and the freedom to love our family.

I wanted to say, thank you to those who gave their lives, and thank you to those of you protecting our freedom and way of life.
