Veterans forever young

I can't think of a better day than to say what a blessing it is for me to be able to go out and film the events as part of this family. Everywhere I go, I see love. I see arms reaching out to hug and comfort in sad times and I see the same arms reach out to celebrate. I see friends walk away from crowds to share a private conversation as one head bows low and soon a hand touches his shoulder. I see such grace in the actions of leather clad, tattoo covered, long haired bikers too few ever get to know.

You remember the days when you were young and far away from home and those days are as much a part of you as today is. Those days went into who you became. You have always done for others but it is so hard for you to let others do for you. Yet remember when you were in combat and remember you were not alone then to fight those battles. Don't try to go it alone now. Let them know you need someone to talk to and they will be there to listen.

This is my Christmas gift to all of you and my wish for the New Year.


"Forever Young"
The Pretenders
(originally by Bob Dylan)

May God bless you and keep you always
May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others
And let others do for you
May you build a ladder
To the stars
And climb on every rung
And may you stay
Forever young

Forever young
Forever young
May you stay
Forever young

May you grow up
To be righteous
May you grow up to be true
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you
May you always be courageous
Stand up right and be strong
And may you stay
Forever young

Forever young
Forever young
May you stay
Forever young

May your hands always be busy
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift
May your heart always be joyful
May your song always be sung
May you stay
Forever young

Forever young
Forever young
May you stay
Forever young
