  Peace to all the world.

  The Gunners Dream by Roger Waters

  Floating down through the clouds

  memories come rushing up to meet me now

  in the space between the heavens

  and in the corner of some foreign field

  I had a dream

  I had a dream

  goodbye Max

  goodbye ma

  after the service when you're walking slowly to the car

  and the silver in her hair shines in the cold November air

  you hear the tolling bell

  and touch the silk in your lapel

  and as the tear drops rise to meet the comfort of the band

  you take her frail hand

  and hold on to the dream

  We just got home from a memorial ride, 8,000 motorcycles (Mostly Harley's) started at a local dealer then paraded to the national Cemetary where we participated in the Memorial day ceremonies. Every bike had atleast 1 flag on it. Simply a very humbling day spent in the memory of those that paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms.

  May they all rest in peace

  MacR... Amen Brother!

  Here in Los Angeles, there were several T.V. reporters on the ground and helicopters in the air. We were led by a U.S. Army helicopter all the way to the cemetery.

  Zaph... great article... Thanks, i needed it after reading most of the other articles on the site today. I just went off in another thread titled "A tribute to our soldiers".
