Patriot Guard Riders Ride on the 4th of July

A | A | A

Many people are honoring veterans on this 4th of July including the patriot guard riders.

The patriot guard riders rumbled down the streets of the Veterans Affairs hospital campus to honor U.S. Army vietnam veteran Clayton Garman.

Clayton who has been in the VA hospital for the last 7 weeks is in need of a liver transplant and his health is declining rapidly.

His one wish was to see the patriot guard riders while alive ...and what better day to have it come true than on this Independence day.

I rode in the Honor Mission for Clayton on the 4th. It was the best 4th of July I have ever had. To bring a few smiles to our hometown heros was an honor. God Bless Clayton & God Bless the USA!
