Getting Pink Slips

Last Night we stayed with a guy from Fort Campbell in TN, Very nice guy. He is in the Army, 101st Airborne. George, Him, and I visited a memorial in the base. One of Georges friends son is on a memorial there, his son was from TN but he lives in FL, the man started the “Lest they be Forgotten” flag, his mission is to build memorials in every passed soldier’s hometown. We saw one of his memorials in Michigan, The memorial is basically a soldiers cross with the name of the soldier it is honoring. After we saw the memorial on base, we went to an American Legion post and saw one of his “lest they be Forgotten” flag on the wall of the post.
We went out to dinner at Olive Garden with our host, Shane and his buddy. We shared stories, and both of the guys shared about their experience in the Army. They shared about riding motorcycles on their Combat Vets association. They had cool stories to tell about speeding tickets. Our server at Olive Garden was a Vet. He shared stories with us too. And shared about his 125 in a 45 speeding ticket. He was supposed to be on probation for 4 year for the ticket. But after speaking to his Parole Officer and getting that news, enlisted into the Marines. And started with a clean slate. So, this entire trip, have seen allot of motorcycles right? Allot of bikes. So, when I get home, I am going to get a bike. So much cheaper than cars. Insurance wise, gas wise, and price wise. I probably wont buy a Harley. Those are a little expensive, and I am not going into debt... EVER... So, I need to save up for a modest one. But that is a little hard being on the road essentially unemployed. I still get my job back when I come home.... But, I kinda like not going to work. I won’t get a bike until I take the class and get my license. Oh, and I wont go 125 in a 45.
