National Heroes Tour- VIP Entrance to Kansas City
The KC Sheriff's Department and the Patriot Guard Riders gave us the royal treatment escorting us down the interstate and all through town with a dozen bikes. Thanks much gentlemen from VFF and the NHT.

It was great seeing you all there and meeting such great leaders. I am proud to have met the great Uncle Jimbo from the frozen tundra.
If you all are going to do some more touring and want to come back this way, give us a heads up and we can coordinate a little more press coverage before you get here so we can have a better turn out, though I appreciated the ability to meet you in person and get to ask a bunch of questions.

That escort was just awesome!

Oh, that's just perfect! What a great welcome. I'm just sorry the sun didn't shine for y'all.

That is awesome. That is one of the few reasons I would choose to ride in the rain.

Last summer there was a local soldier killed in Iraq and the Patriot Guard Riders escorted the funeral procession through town, those guys rock!

OUTSTANDING!
We will be heading east to spend our vacation in KC.

If only ALL heros across America were welcomed home that way...
It's a dream isn't it?
See you boys in VA Beach.
I wish my husband wasn't floating in the Atlantic he'd love to come and see you guys.

Wow, that's awesome. Folks, if you've never ridden a bike in the rain, let me tell you they deserve a lot of credit. It's hazardous and the raindrops feel like needle pricks at anything over 15 mph.
Good on the KCPD and PGR.
This will hopefully set a precedent on future tour stops!

Hey UJ-
IS VFF still selling the NHT T-shirts? I lost my link, I got to have one...See you in Fayetteville!!
Posted by: defendusa | March 27, 2008 at 02:57 PM
Excellent!
That is how to treat men like these. Makes the Libtards in MSP look even more shameful.
Posted by: Just a Civilian | March 27, 2008 at 05:20 PM
Awesome sight!

Working on some pictures, audio and an impromptu freefly from Jimbo. Stand by at thedonovan.com (castle aarggh!)

Fantastic! It is nice to see these heroes and the tour itself get the respect that is well deserved. Thank you to the Kansas City Sheriff's Department and the Patriot Guard Riders. You have made a good impression for your city that won't be forgotten. Every city should receive the tour in this manner.
Posted by: RichardUSA | March 27, 2008 at 06:54 PM
looks like you had fun.
Posted by: mindy1 | March 27, 2008 at 07:32 PM
Hey Jimbo,
I heard you are going to be on Allman's show tommorow. Does that mean you won't be at post 103 in St Louis for breakfast? I spent the whole evening preparing some artery grout for you and I'll be just heartbroken if I don't get to see you.
Hell we even replaced light bulbs to get the optimum reflection from your pate!
Everybody else!
You are welcome to join us (if there was any question) at American Legion post 103 at 3212 Sutton in Maplewood, MO. We will begin serving breakfast at 0700 and will go until we run out of food or everyones' arteries are at least 90% occluded.

Definite "lump in throat" moment. BIG TIME Kudos to the KC PGR. They did the right thing and did it well.
Safe travels.
Gonna be a little "sumpthin - sumpthin" special waiting for you in Nashville from the Church Ladies. Uh oh! :)
