No one met Bob Woods at the St. Louis airport in 1971 when he came home from war, and he has never forgotten it.
No one visited Wayne Cox's mother in support while he, his brother and his father were all in Vietnam in 1969. That still bothers him.
So at 9 a.m. on Thursday, Woods, 58, waited with his Harley-Davidson at a rest stop near the Ohio/Indiana border. A few hours later, Cox, 60, pulled into the Groveport Recreation Center's parking lot on his motorcycle.
Some soldiers were coming home to central Ohio. Woods, Cox and about a dozen other Patriot Guard Riders wanted those soldiers to know that this is a different age.

This is a nice story about a group of guys who don't just talk about supporting the troops.

This is enlightening and encouraging. Am so glad to read about those who have taken personal negative, difficult experiences and turned it into something really cool by giving to others what they themselves had never received. That's the true spirit of generosity and selflessness. People like Cox and Woods are earth's angels and we're so fortunate to have them. Great post!

These men who have decided to become Patriot Guards have gained a lot of respect. The Patriots deserve this recognition for serving our great country! Hooray for all of them!
