Article by Robert Harris
I was asked if I could carry the Veteran Tribute Bike to help support this most worthy cause. I of coarse accepted being a Vietnam Vet myself who came into contact with Agent Orange during my tour of duty. It is the most likely cause of my prostate cancer since prostate cancer does not run in my family.
At almost every event I attend across this great country of ours I come in contact with at least one Vietnam Vet at every event dying from the effects of this toxic chemical defoliant used in Vietnam to deny the enemy the cover of the jungle canopy.
I commend organizations such as the Treasure Coast Leather Necks , M.C. for bringing the plight of our brothers who are suffering from the effects of agent orange out in the open through events such as this one as well as to help raise funds to help those who are suffering.
A special thank you to Popeye and all my Leatherneck M/C brothers on the Treasure Coast . Keep up the good work and ride safe.
All gave some – some gave all
Time was served – time to honor
The nation which forgets its defenders will itself be forgotten.
Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you , Jesus Christ and the American G.I. One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.
To those who have fought for our country, freedom has a flavor the protected will never know.
To our homeless Vets the flavor of freedom has a bitter sweet taste.
Freedom is not free.
We are the land of the free because of the brave .
If you love and enjoy your freedom donation to organizations who help our Hero’s in need.
God Bless You.
God Bless America
