Sen. John Kerry Flips Off Veteran

So much has happened in the last few days, it's been hard to keep track of things. Word was circulating that John Kerry had flipped off a Vet yesterday but I didn't have time to get details.

Now, if you live in Virginia, eventually you will eat at the Virginia Diner in Wakefield and if you hang out long enough you will run into someone you know.

I pulled into the parking lot there this evening and saw a 3 wheeler that looked familiar. The bike and the other two Harley's nearby had the Patriot Guard emblem on them and I thought, "If I don't know these guys, I soon will."

Inside the Diner, Trike, Amerbadas and AK were having dinner on their way back from a Welcome Home mission at Fort Lee. They were pumped up about the returning troops and how well things had gone. It turns out Trike and I had indeed met before at a funeral for a fallen Warrior. I have a soft spot for the Patriot Guard and the support they give to the families of our Military people. When they show up with all those flags and bikes it is such a beautiful tribute and the families love them.

Trike had spent the weekend up in DC for the Gathering of Eagles and various events, which included a protest outside of the NBC studio yesterday morning where John Effin' Kerry was being filmed.

As John Effin' Kerry, United States Senator, left the building he walked by Trike and flipped him off. Being a Veteran and a true Patriot, Trike returned the salute with gusto.

Trike goes on the heroes list for sure.

UDATE: The devil is in the details for sure. Trike left some corrections to my version of his Kerry experience in the comments. I've moved them to the main post so you can get them straight from the source. You will also see why I think he and the PGR are such great guys. Here 'tis:

Hi,
It was good seeing you again - sorry we couldn't spend more time discussing the fun at the GOE. :o)

Just a slight correction on your report of the bird incident - Kerry was being driven by us when he flipped us off. I'm pretty sure, despite his being a real, live war hero, that he would never have had the balls to walk by a bunch of bikers and flip us off... LOL at the thought.

Also, we were not demonstrating - we were just taking up space. We had heard the moon-bats were going to be there demonstrating in support of Kerry (he was there to debate Sen McCain). When Sen McCain came out he had his car stop, he got out and shook everyone's hand and talked to us. When Kerry came out he had a big smile on his face - no doubt thinking Sen McCain had just run into the moon-bat demonstration. When he saw us his smile disappeared and he had the driver keep moving. As his SUV (big, gas guzzling SUV) turned onto the street he flipped off several of us. I just happened to be in the middle and was more than ready to return the guesture.

Take care, God Bless, and I will keep your son in my prayers. Contact us when he comes home - R&R or for good if you want the PGR there.
