in Atalanta where we transferred to LA.
a guy, young punk, same age as us, threw spaghetti
on him.
in LA omg it was totally TOTALLY horrible

He had on his beret, at that time only 1 group was allowed to wear 'em,

But those memories ares so clear, i really would love to see him in his beret, and uniform in todays atmosphere.
he wouldnt be proud, he'd be humble but just as im sure you guys appreciate the thanks, but realize those that can, do.
Not all men are created equal.


thanks guys for 'walking that line'



Hi Terri
My sincere condolences on your loss
I salute your Husband, and im saddened that i wont have the chance to meet him shake his hand and thank him
And i do remember the bad times and the good as i served from 1979 to 2003
Take care and ride safely dear friend
Yours Hank
