Don Dinsmore (at left in the photograph below) served as a Navy photographer for 24 years, from Vietnam to OIF. He now has two sons in the Corps, one is a sergeant currently at Camp Pendleton. The other is Capt. Jeffrey Dinsmore who is currently deployed with the 3/1 in Iraq. (You can read Capt. Dinsmore's feelings about the Haditha investigation and charges on this thread at post 43).

Drop Don an e-mail for details (or you can Freepmail for his phone number). Hope you can join in, even for a bit of the ride. He could also use any help Freepers can offer to help get the word out. It's going to a beautiful ride on I-5!

Bump, Red.

Hope they get a few thousand riders — they’re carrying a lot of prayers with them.

My dirtbike wouldn't do well on I-5 but maybe I can borrow my brother's new soft tail to escort them out of the USSRW.

Now if I can borrow someone's girlfriend to take pictures....

Boy - do I wish I lived on the West Coast. I would join this group in a heartbeat. Even though I don’t have a clue as to how to drive a motorcycle I’d hitch a ride with someone. What a wonderful and giving group. They should be proud of themselves. I AM!

Pinging myself to remembering to be there on Thursday. We live near Camp Pendleton.
