I had the honor to ride in the procession to honor Sgt Charles Leo Wilson, KIA in 1950 in Korea. His remains were found by a korean farmer in 2000. Earlier this year his DNA was matched and his family was contacted. His remains were flown into the airport in St Louis Mo today, where the Patriot Guard took escort and travelled all the way to Ava Mo. It was very heartwarming to see the town of Ava lining the streets as the procession of about 125 bikes and about 10 or so trikes rode past. I saw our fearless leader standing on the street as we passed. Thanks Jim for coming out to honor the Sgt. His funeral will be saturday. A few more of our members, Fern and Dick Luhman, and Chris and Larry Freeman along with Ron Raymond were there also. It was very exhilerating to say the least.
