I'm sure that one of them would have taken him for a short one and all of the other riders would have gone just to make certain that no cars got to close.<br />Nothing like the feel of the wind on ones face as you bounce down the highway. ;~)<br />Kevin hope you are enjoying the pool.<br />Leslie, take more than a few minutes and have some quiet time with your MOM and DAD. Sometimes that is the best medicine around.<br /><br />Miss EmMiss Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14441825597709556390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815867650533403423.post-1626367040482930022010-10-28T22:25:42.368-05:002010-10-28T22:25:42.368-05:00Welcome Home Kevin from East Coast Pizza StaffWelcome Home Kevin from East Coast Pizza StaffEast Coast Pizzanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815867650533403423.post-29983818243463285182010-10-28T21:30:48.905-05:002010-10-28T21:30:48.905-05:00What a wonderful homecoming!

It was great to see the news videos and see his face as he took it all in! All those motorcycles must have been quite a sight. I've been thinking of you all and keeping you in my prayers.

She could not understand why tears rolled down my face many times during that ceremony. Tears are rolling again. My heart hurts for you and your family for all that Kevin has had to endure. NOBODY deserves the pain and suffering he has been through, thus putting you through it also BUT in some little way, this jesture makes us all aware that there are still REAL people in the world. People who love and care about total strangers. Those who will recognize the sacrifices of others and understand REALLY what this country was founded on and what the military is all about. It truly is a brotherhood. I did not serve (although I have served the veterans for 26 years)- I do understand the bond.<br /> I so much admire you for the time, effort, love you have given in the worst possible times and to Kevin - your sacrifice was an incredibly huge sacrifice, thank you for stepping up to the plate and serving. Thank you for being the person you were and the person you are now. You are an incredible young man. God bless you!<br />HallieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815867650533403423.post-65135307726445562062010-10-28T06:05:07.305-05:002010-10-28T06:05:07.305-05:00This was beautiful!!
