Red, Sounds like Mr. Dinsmore has come up with a great idea to support these Marines. Now if he can get this a little more organised for financial donations and PR effect with a little help from FRiends it will be even better.

4WB - Now if I can borrow someone's girlfriend to take pictures.... LOL!

Maybe the ride is an opportunity to meet one?

Pray for W and Our Marines

Agree with your thoughts on placement relative to the two brothers.

If your going to up from the ranks to officer, the Marine Corps is the service to be in. The rest require a ring from their trade school.

Hope the ride is a BIG success.

Update from Don Dinsmore! Updates regarding the schedule will be posted on this page so check back!

Tenatively, we look for Saturday (June 23rd) in Washington and north Oregon.

We plan Sunday (June 24th) in Oregon to maybe Medford, and Monday (June 25th) to maybe Redding. Then probably to Stockton on Tuesday (June 26th) and from there around Bakersfield on Wednesday (June 27th) and south through LA. There we will pick up the Gathering Eagle's California Car to lead us in to Oceanside on Thursday early afternoon. There room is being arranged for us near and in view of the main gate Camp Pendleton.

My wife is going by car from Seattle to Portland on Saturday, then back home. There is room for everyone to ride 100 miles or 10 miles, wave a flag, or give a dollar. It's our time for doing what we have been quietly wondering what we can do to SUPPORT for our Marines.

I believe that this relay type ride is going to start a trend of support for our military that could change the views of many politicians. It affords an opportunity for the Silent American to add their voice without being placed into a category and easily discounted.

If I may get personal for a moment: my eldest son, Capt. Jeff Dinsmore (3/1 Marines) called me immediately after his people were charged in December 2006. He asked Dad what he should do.

I said, "You know what you have got to do, you are a Marine." But I asked, " Do you understand what it will cost you?" He said, "Yes, probably my career."

He said, "We went over there together as Marines, we watched each other's backs like Marines, we were ready to take a hit for each other, because we are Marines. If I had taken that hit for any of them it would have wrecked my career." he said, "They are innocent and I can prove it, and I'm a Marine and I will leave no man behind."

Now WE need to show America that we won't leave those who gave us our freedom behind either, it's our priority.

Next to the I-5 freeway near your home, gather friends and family and various clubs and have a barbeque, music, and a lot of fun supporting the "No Man Left Behind" motorcycle ride. Wave a lot of flags and watch for OLD Glory to come from the north. This is a ride for everybody, not just the riders. We will break to the exit with bank bags given to us for collecting donations for the Military Combat Defense Fund. A Rep from that organization will be at Main Gate Camp Pendleton to receive your money when we arrive. The donations will go from your heart to the Defense Fund set up to be divided among all the defendant Marines, every dime.
