Mission Post:  The Patriot Guard Riders have been requested to
participate in a Purple Heart Ceremony for US ARMY Spc Alex
Hussey. Alex was wounded on 8-12-2012 and is a triple amputee.
His recovery is going well and it is time to recognize this Hero.
Major General Hillhouse US ARMY will be presenting the Purple
Heart to this Hero. There will be a BBQ after the Ceremony where
there will be food and a Cake Cutting Ceremony in Honor of the
Army Birthday which is on June 14th. 

It was a fine ceremony and our hero seemed to be in good spirits.

I arrived late, as usual and joined the folks inside.   Nice line of scoots, 8 here...

.... 3 over on the other side.

Going into the  ceremony area..

Taking some shots before the service starts.  Cliff did a great job with his flags, as always!  Thank you for what you do!

Off to my left...
