At 11:30pm on July 3 we began lining up for what is billed as America’s earliest 4th of July parade. My wife and I joined other Patriot Guard Riders who turned out with over 20 motorcycles for this midnight tradition in Gatlinburg TN. We were honored to ride behind the five floats that represented the four branches of our armed forces and the Gold Star Moms. It was a thrill to be part of this great celebration of freedom.
