 Susan Duclos, also known as 'Spree' has been blogging for our troops with verve, nerve, and dedication for quite some time now.

When she e-mailed and asked me to re-post, I had to jump right on it.

After you read the story of how the PGR is trying to re-unite the remains of Vietnam Vets with a proper burial spot, go down to the next link, where I promise your blood will boil.

From Spree,

Last night I was asked by a friend in the Patriot Guard Riders, to help spread the word about a group that had made it a mission of bring the cremated remains of their brothers in arms, to their proper resting place or families.

Read it and if you think it is as worthy as I did, please help spread the word.

They deserve better than this.

This story makes my heart skip a beat.

Two brothers, both Marines, serving their country in Iraq, came home safely to the San Francisco Bay Area last night.

And they were greeted as heroes at the airport by the Patriot Guard Riders, EaglesUP West Coast coordinator Doug Lyvere, family and soon- to- be friends.

KPIX News covered it here.

250 people showed up!

The Boy Scouts waited anxiously to say hello.

I know that readers of this blog from the South, the Midwest and other parts of the country don't get why this is a big deal.

It's because we are in Liberal Land, where many/most do not celebrate the service and sacrifice of our heroes.

Gentlemen, job well done. Welcome home to Joshua and Michael Woodruff.

Proving that I am an equal opportunity website, catering to the needs of the ladies WHO. MUST. DECORATE, I am linking you to 'Spree', proud patriot at WakeUpAmericans.

Thank Goodness, our hero John Wayne reappears for our designer needs.

(I'm thinking rustic log cabin look, with plaids, lots of guns, deer-heads, leather, definitely not pleather, soft comfy sofas, and more guns. Guns are an especially nice accessory in a manly-man home decorated by the wimmin' folk.)

It's High Noon for the Home Decorators.

JOSHUA AND MICHAEL WOODRUFF, WE LOVE YOU!

Y'all greet returning servicemen and women all the time.

Not so much here.

It's because we are in Liberal Land, where many/most do not celebrate the service and sacrifice of our heroes.

John Woodruff is beyond words.

....The reception at the airport of 45 Patriot Riders was only piece of the puzzle.  Their arrival in Oakland was celebrated with two fire trucks creating a water arch for the plane to pass through.  Then they were escorted home, where at best count 250 people, were waiting to thank them personally. They included the local VFW bag pipes included to a company of boy scouts standing at attention in front of the flag that would not fit in front of the house (my guess 100ft x 50ft.) Assemblyman Guy Houston was on hand to personally thanked them along with many others to numerous to mention.  When it quieted down I asked them if they knew how much their service was appreciated and how proud of them we are! They got the message!
