Patricia's journey from Virginia Beach to the Norfolk airport did not go unnoticed. In fact, she had quite an honor guard to lead the way. The Patriot Guard Riders, a group of (mostly) military veteran bikers mustered in the wee hours and bitter cold to see her off to Washington.
Our heros knowingly place themselves in harm's way in defense of our country and their loved ones...but how many expect that it will be their burden to grieve over a lost loved one? Many leave knowing that they may not return to their spouses and families, but how many leave fearing that they may return home for a funeral and to an empty home? This was just one mission that I couldn't miss.
Another escort waited her arrival in Washington. Thanks so much to all you bikers! The entire post, with more pictures, is
