Hello,

I am the only child to Veteran Vernon R Olson, I want to Thank Everyone Immensely! We got to Camp Ripley early, so I asked to go to The Canteen. OMG to my surprise there were so many people & bikes there, my mouth dropped & I had to cover it with my hand. I immediately had tears in my eyes. I asked who was Jason Olson (Brainerd RC), he came forward, and I told him who I was. There was another wonderful man there that asked if I was Vernon's daughter. I said yes. You all clapped, I was in total shock. I am so grateful for you all! I wanted to make sure I gave Daddy a Good "Send 0ff", and Thanks to you all I did! God Bless You All! I am a new member of Bemidji Sector, along with my husband.

What you ALL did for my Daddy will never be forgotten! There was even a man there from the Thief River Falls sector. Daddy had an amazing send-off that he truly deserved. My one cousin asked me, how do you Thank these people, I told her just to go around and say Thank you. To her that was not enough, so she will be getting Jason's email today attached with this as well. After I got my driver licenses when I was 16, I ran the streets of E St Paul & Maplewood at all hours of the day n night, and hung with some street gang members. When I met my friends from, 6 mo later, Fridley, most of them were Bikers. And they truly changed my life around. Hence another HUGE reason why Daddy loved Bikes & Bikers. Thank you just dont seem enough, but knowing PGR thats all you ask for if anything at all. But you guys will never be forgotten, never! It will be my honor & privilege to stand the Flag line with memories of all of you who helped me bury my Daddy properly & for the next fallen Veteran & their family(s). Brainerd, the Arch you made for us to go under to go to Daddys grave was just "awww", no words can describe. I am so grateful for everyone that was there! My daddy lays within 200' from his closest & most missed brother. Thank You All for Your Service!!! Hope to see you all someday on a much more happier note. God Bless You All!!! I could sense Daddy was really smiling on ALL of us!

You know to us family members that a simple Thank You dont feel like enough from the family, but a simple Thank You & a Very Grateful for you are is all I can come up with. With Much Honor, Respect, & Gratitude! May God Bless you all! May God Bless America! May God Bless Our Freedom from the Veterans & Active Members of ALL sectors of the Military! ... Glo n Family

P.S. I did take pictures of ya'll. Will gladly share them, to whom do I send them too tho?
