Give Honor to Bert Brady Who Gives Honor to Our Troops

This guy is a pretty cool guy. He lives near the Dallas-Ft. Worth airport and nearly every morning he gets up and goes to the airport to greet the soldiers who are coming home. He is the founder of the Welcome Home Project which is an organization dedicated to making sure that every soldier arriving home at the airport has his very own welcome wagon. ABC News made this guy their person of the week a while back and I think he's a pretty cool guy A very touching story which proves you don't have to be political to be patriotic. No one has to support the war and no one is restricted from supporting the war if they simply support the soldiers who are fighting the war. Guys like Bert Brady and like the members of the Patriot Guard are a part of what makes our country great.

Check out these Bikers

The Patriot Guards is a group of bikers/motorcyclists who ride around the U.S. attending funeral services of fallen soldiers. Some of them noticed that at these funerals there were occasionally protesters and so out of respect for the family and their greif they go to the funerals and stand in ranks with flags to support the family of the fallen and to create a buffer between the family and any disrespectful protestors. Kinda neat. These ruff looking dudes get tears in their eyes and cry at the funerals and tell the family that they love them.
