A few weeks back, Brenda Leigh ran into these motorcyclists in Menominee and spotted their dog all decked out in his military attire, so she said she had to ask if she could take the pups photo. They obliged her and even changed outfits for the photo shoot, showing his allegiance to the Packers! Brenda said as she was taking the photos, she figured she'd get a few shots of the Motorcycle Veterans, too. That's after she shook each one of their hands and thanked them for serving as they did, during the Vietnam war. I don't have specifics on where they're from, where they were going or what organization they belong to, all I know is they're traveling by motorcycle, in memory of those that didn't make it home from the Vietnam war.
Let's send out a big thank you to all our Veterans, but especially our Vietnam Vets, today. Then a moment of silence for those who didn't return... Thank you.

Thanks to all the Vietnam Vets. That is war that I just missed by a hair when it was winding down and the draft had ended.

My Father in New Mexico does a lot of these types of bike rides with the Vets, being a Vet himself. He just missed going to Vietnam but ended up building airstrips in the Phillipines during that time.
Everyone should salute and shake the hand of a Vet, whether WW2, Korean, Vietnam, Desert Storm, or the current action; they deserve our praise and thanks!!!!!

Hurray for those folks! I see the doggies are wearing their 'dog-tags', wonder if they sleep in 'pup-tents'?;>

Doggone adorable. We should all 'paws' a moment to thank our Veterans. Without them, we would probably not be doing this.

I'm glad the Vietnam Vets are finally getting the recognition they more than deserve.
