Thank-you for serving our country. I met Ron for the first time at LZ Lambeau. He drove my Gold Star grandmother "Edith Roe" up from Appleton on the back of your motorcycle. She was not very mobile. Ron and other vets had to put her on your cycle. You made her day and ours. I still remember the roar of the cycles and seeing my grandmother on his bike. I posted a picture of this in a book i wrote about my grandmother " If only I could have said good-bye." Thank-you Ron.
