As I mentioned in my last post I took the Army Bike in for to fix a fuel leak and to get its 30K service. While I was checking the bike into the dealership a gentlemen approached, admiring the bike.
We spoke for a few minutes and then we shook hands. During the handshake he passed a challenge coin. Turns out he is with the Patriot Guard Riders. It was the first challenge coin I have received in a while.
For those of you who do not know what a challenge coin is it is a medallion that typically bares the unit or organizations insignia. The coins are typically handed out on a limited basis during special event or when an individual performs a task at a high level. You can read more about the history of the coin here.
Very Nice. I ride witht eh Patriot Guard when I can, very good group of folks. I am a Veteran so I more than appreciate their work! Congratulations!
Thanks! I will join in a few years, right now life is so crazy that I would not be able to do them justice
Your ride would look awesome at Rolling Thunder (Memorial Day weekend in D.C.) – One of the most incredible rides I have experienced!
Thanks, we have rode in 5 of the last seven events! It has always been great fun…..except for the lack of shade while waiting around.
