Today I went on a Patriot Guard ride. The PG is a group that honors the fallen soldiers. The function is to go and block the protesters from the Westboro Baptist Church. I had not planned on going but at the last min the WBC filed for a permit to protest.

So at 0615 12 of us left from Morristown Green to Brooklyn. We were given a Port Authority escort from the GW bridge to the Tri-boro bridge. We met up with others and the NYPD. We rode to the church then to the grave site. We were welcomed by the Gomez family.

There were over 100 motorcycles 95% were crusiers the other 5% were sport bikes. Of the crusiers about 60% were H-D's the rest were meteric. Most of the riders were veterans or ex-military. There was a bunch who just wanted to honor the fallen.
