A special post from Chuck

This was supposed to have been posted on day 6, but due to confusion on my part I didn't get it on here until today. Sorry Chuck !! Scott.

The last six days I have been pedalling from Ellettsville to Branson, MO to honor the men and women of the armed forces past and present. This ride has not been about Chuck or some of the places he has stopped at for pictures, excluding the ones in Bloomfield, MO at the Civil War Cemetary, The Stars and Stripes Museum, and the Missouri Veterans Cemetary.
If during your travels in everyday life you have enjoyed the freedom of this country, PLEASE take time to "thank" a veteran for his or her sacrifice. Many of our WWII veterans are passing away and some of the history of that war goes with them. The pride they have to tell their story shows in their face when they talk about their stories. Also the pain of losing buddies show. But take time today to say "thank you for your service". Tell your dad, grandfather, uncle, cousin, or friend.

Thank you,

Stay safe and we will see you when I return

Chuck
