A thank you from Chuck

My Branson trip has been realized!! Pedalling from Ellettsville to Branson, MO to honor the men and women of the armed forces past and present is now completed. 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, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt or friend.

To all the veterans who have checked in here on this blog site - and to all who hear of this ride I sincerely say-- Thank you for the sacrifice you or your family have made to help keep freedom in this country and world. Thank You!!
