Patriot Guard & Marine Lance Corporal Glover

Some of you may not know that I am a member of The Patriot Guard Riders. (PGR.org)
The Patriot Guard Riders is a diverse amalgamation of riders from across the nation. We have one thing in common besides motorcycles. We have an unwavering respect for those who risk their very lives for Americas freedom and security. We don't care what you ride, what your political views are, or whether you're a "hawk" or a "dove". It is not a requirement that you be a veteran. It doesn't matter where you're from or what your income is. You don't even have to ride. The only prerequisite is Respect.Our main mission is to attend the funeral services of fallen American heroes as invited guests of the family. Each mission we undertake has two basic objectives.1. Show our sincere respect for our fallen heroes, their families, and their communities.2. Shield the mourning family and friends from interruptions created by any protestor or group of protestors.We accomplish the latter through strictly legal and non-violent means.

On Saturday-August 26, I had the honor & privilege of joining the members of my motorcycle club to the memorial & funeral services of Marine Lance Corporal Glover who died in Iraq. I was also able to represent The Salvation Army Emergency Disaster Services by using my emergency response vehicle to ensure street or intersection closures and thus allowed for the safety of all riders as a result of heavy rains. The images captured speak for themselves. Special thanks to my friend-Jesus Cortes who provided the images.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to all servicemen and women for a safe and quick return to their loved ones. Please feel free to forward this to others.

THIS DOJO DOES

Yesterday at Great Grandmaster Aaron Banks "open"tournament our newest student
Karina Bigitschke stood before the Judges and proudly announced that she is LEGEND and Prepared to compete
The intensity and focus and determination was captured.

In the forms (Kata) contest she went against three women and a man who was an excellent Yellow Belt with many years under his belt.

He should not have been in a womans division or in the Novice Division.

If he was not there Karina would have taken FIRST Place. As it was she took second.


In the fighting, Karina went against some BIG women and stood toe to toe.

Once she "fired" she never stopped until the judges had to interfer.

Her punches were SOLID and definetly IN scoring her, after three fights, FIRST PLACE.

Karina NEVER Had a fight before and wanted to prove herself.
Well lady...YOU DID!

She has only been LEGEND for THREE MONTHS...Wait until 6 MONTHS =))

Karina and her supportive husband.

Her cheering section.

The hard work paid off.

See you at the next one!
