Honoring Their Service Motorcycle Escort

The "Honoring Their Service" Motorcycle Escort was a rewarding experience and a rousing success.  There were 256 motorcycles providing motorcade support for the Marines riding in Jeeps on their way to Keowee Key.  Patriotic people lined the entire route waving flags and signs thanking the Marines for their service.   A big thanks to the motorcycle volunteers that helped get everything lined up - Dan (chairman), Bob, Tom, Len, Russ, Jim, Charley, Jon, Ed, Pete, and Larry.  The Lighthouse turned their Cabana Club into a mini barbecue joint to provide the motorcyclists a big thank-you for their effort.  The Marines concluded their visit with an escorted trip to Clemson to get a "hero's'" tour of Memorial Stadium, also know affectionately as Death Valley.  The small motorcycle escort included Dan, Charley, me, Len, and Lesley.  It was a real treat to tour the stadium and bid a final farewell to the Marines.  It was definitely a couple of really great days on two wheels.   Steve
