Sniper Check - Kenny Elliott
Kenny served 3 months with E Troop, 151 Cav., of the 39th Infantry Brigade in Iraq. He could have come home when they did in March 2005, but volunteered to stay. "It just doesn't make sense to only stay 3 months, mom." he said when he told me about his decision. He then was attached to the 256th Infantry out of Louisana, who then attached him to E Troop, 101 Cav., which was an attachement from New York.
He came home in September 2005. After several months home, he decided to go regular Army and went to Ft Hood and was with I Troop, 3rd Squardron, 3d ACR. While preparing to return ot Iraq, his symptoms of PTSD worsened and he was discharged in October 2007. He is going through the VA in Biloxi, MS to help for his PTSD.
Patriot Guard Riders
The Patriot Guard Riders is a diverse amalgamation of riders from across the nation. We have one thing in common besides motorcycles. We have an unwavering respect for those who risk their very lives for America’s freedom and security. If you share this respect, please join us.
We don’t care what you ride or if you ride, what your political views are, or whether you’re a hawk or a dove. It is not a requirement that you be a veteran. It doesn't matter where you’re from or what your income is; you don’t even have to ride. The only prerequisite is Respect. Our main mission is to attend the funeral services of fallen American heroes
as invited guests of the family
. Each mission we undertake has two basic objectives.
1. Show our sincere respect for our fallen heroes, their families, and their communities.
2. Shield the mourning family and their friends from interruptions created by any protestor or group of protestors.
We accomplish the latter through strictly legal and non-violent means.
To those of you who are currently serving and fighting for the freedoms of others, at home and abroad, please know that we are backing you. We honor and support you with every mission we carry out, and we are praying for a safe return home for all.My Feeds

Eyes, Heart, and Soul
The world melted away.
There was nothing I could do,
And nothing I could say.
Your eyes reached my soul,
With the gentlest of touch,
That now makes me open,
And feel so very much.
I feel that I have have known you,
For all of my life,
But little do I know,
And that brings a bit of strife.
But then and there I knew,
I had lost my heart,
And now I want to cry,
Because we are apart.
I find solace in the feeling
That my dream will come true,
And together we will be,
Just me and just you.
But for now I will wait,
Untill you are free,
In your mind and in your heart,
To forever be with me.

Road Dogs on Hogs counting the days to Sturgis!!
I am truly amazed at the response we have gotten and the numbers of drivers/riders that had signed up to ride and camp with us while there. What started as a crazy idea, (so I thought), has turned into almost a major event for the drivers in the trucking industry. We have Truck Shows all over the country all year round. Never before have just the drivers tried to create an event for fun, outside of the trucking industry. They wont be any show trucks to shine and polish, (just your bike), there wont be any driver recruiters, no truck dealers trying to talk you into buying their truck, no people telling you how to make it in the trucking world or any other of the things you see at any other gathering of truck drivers.

Trip to Juneau, Alaska (Part 5)
Well, Taylor and I had a good day Friday! We didn't do much adventuring, but we did go back to the trail that I got bit by the plant. This trail is called Point Bishop-Dupont Trail. The full trail is just under 10 miles, but Taylor and I only went about 2 miles in because it started raining, so we turned back!

Trip to Juneau, Alaska (Part 4)
Yesterday was a very cloudy, rainy day! So we didn't get to do very much. What we did do, is ride around exploring as much as we could. We did find a few trails and tried to get out and hike them, but the mosquito's were just horrible.
But today was MUCH better! There was still some clouds hanging around to start out with, but it was warmer, so that made it better. The only problem I had today was getting Taylor up and out of the house. But once we got out there, she was ready to go.

Subject: Your promotion of your bookMs. Morgan,
I noticed that anywhere you can find Tracy K Barkers name you have to add a promotion to your book.
To me you are just like Jamie Jones, revictimizing a victim who is Tracy. I dont get why you continue to knock Tracy down at every chance you get in your bloggings. Though I would never expect or request to explain this to me because i dont care about your reasons, however you are no better then what Jamie Jones did to Tracy.
Trip to Juneau, Alaska (Part 3)
Well, I have to admit, I am tired this evening! What a day this was! Can you read the sign that my niece, Taylor is beside? Well, it says that the portal camp in 1.7 miles up the trail. I don't think we made it that far, but if you look close to the pictures below, you will see that this was one heck of a climb for us.

Update on how I'm doing and what's going on
Hey everyone,
I know it's been awhile since I've posted anything. My mother tells me that a lot of you are asking about me. Well....I'm doing as good as can be expected.
I'm still seeing a psychiatrist for the PTSD and depression and other things. The VA has determined me 30% disabled. Which means.....IT'S OFFICIAL, I AM A DISABLED VET. I think getting this "new"
title was one of the happiest moments in my life. Not because I am a disabled vet, but because I will be able to get more help to better myself and move on as a ...
Trip to Juneau, Alaska (Part 2)
OK, I have been in Alaska almost 48 hours now and I have already worn my niece out! She is laying on the couch just a snoozing! But before I get into why she is taking a nap at this time of day, I need to back up to yesterday!
I was up at 0430 Alaska time, that is 0730 back home in Mississippi! I got about 4 hours of sleep, but I may told ya'll that in the last post. Anyway, my brother came in from work and caught a nap. Around lunch time we gathered up and headed to the SUV. Bert has been in Juneau for a week now and says that all he has seen is the children's park! ARGH!!!!
So, we headed right straight for Mendanhall Glacier! And what an awesome thing it was to see. It was about 60 degrees and overcast out side, so we did need jackets. Course, with my having come from 90 degrees temperatures, I really needed the jacket. I was COLD!

Trip to Juneau, Alaska (Part 1)
OK, I know a picture of me and Isaiah Washington (he is in NOLA shooting a film) is kind of a dramatic way to start this post, but that is how my trip to Juneau, Alaska started. Well, really it started at my house and I was running late. There was this MAD dash across New Orleans hoping that I would there with enough time to get checked in, smoke that last cigarette, get through security and not be the last on on the plane! And I did good!

Welcome Home 113th MP Company!
What a wonderful day, even though it did start at 0445 this morning! The 113th MP's from Brandon, MS came home from Iraq! It was just a year ago that the MS PGR escorted this find men and women as they were on their way TO Iraq. I was not able to make that mission, but I was not going to miss this one. We staged up outside the south gate of camp Shelby and waited for the busses to roll out the gate.
As you can see from these pictures, there was a great turnout of PGR for this mission. I know I speak for many, if not all of the PGR membership when I say that to be able to do a "feel good" mission once in a while, to see these men and women reunited with their families, helps us all and means so very much to us and our troops.

My Flag, My Country, My Son, & Me
I am sitting here this morning, looking out my front window at the American Flag in my front yard. Each night I do the same for a few minutes. I have lights out on it so I can leave it up at night. They are LED lights and it give the flag an eerie, almost ghostly glow as it waves in the wind. I can't explain why I take a few minutes each morning and evening to just look at it, but I do. Maybe it is what is means to me and my family that I take that little bit of time each day to be thankful that it is the American flag waving in my front yard and not some other.
But right now, due to some things going on in my life and my son's life, I feel compelled to share with ya'll part of our story that you may not have heard before.
As many of you know, my oldest son, Kenny, got out of the Army last October. He and I were in Iraq at the same time in 2005, him a soldier and me a civilian truck driver. We are both home now, but I believe that nether of us have totally left Iraq behind. He deals with PTSD and I, well I deal with my own stuff and try to help him with his.<< MORE >>
