It is always a sad occasion to pay our respects to one of our own who has fallen on the field of battle defending liberty.  When WBC announces they plan to protest though, it is an even sadder occasion.  That was the reason for us to gather today.

We bid farewell to Spc Benjamin Moore in Bordentown, NJ.  Hundreds of vets, including GoE, SBMC, VNVMC, Nam Knights MC, our old friends from VVA 899, and the rank file turned out in force to prevent WBC from defiling our brother's fare well.  Long story short, it worked!  WBC arrived and left when they saw the support our Hero had earned.

Special thanks to PGR and the Warriors Watch Riders for providing our brother Spc Moore and escort and flag line, both at the church and cemetery.  The list of thanks extends to many, but none more so than GoE's own Katie and Angus, who had t-shirts made to commemorate Spc Moore, and presented them to the family.  Well done my friends.

No parents want to join the club to which Mr and Mrs Moore now belong, but they were strong for Ben, and for us.  We've all acquired another mom and dad and will Never leave them alone in their pain.

Finally, special thanks to the current generation of Heroes who turned out in force to send Ben home.  Rest assured my brothers and sisters in arms, our regiments are in good hands with the newest members of our brother/sisterhood.  Great job to you all.  Manchu
