Bad start of the year continues
WAVY News Art Kohn spoke with the U.S. Fleet Forces Command and confirmed two people have been rescued and were en route to a hospital and two others were on a raft. The remaining person on board is still unaccounted for.

Irony? How do you figure that? The Pave Hawk crash the day before near Norfolk, UK?

Lonewolf, I think the irony is in the word "Norfolk" that's all.

Somebody is confusing 'ironic' with 'coincidence'.

If Van Dorn's family asks for the Patriot Guard Riders to participate in his Funeral.....I will be amongst them. We proudly honor the Fallen when the family asks us to join them.

We provide a Motorcycle escort, Flag Line, and any other assistance we can.

Patriot Guard Riders have been to all the funerals of my friends that were shot down or died in Iraq except one and that was for my dad which was a Capt under Gen Patton in WWII. I had them scheduled but my sister was such a bitch and didn’t want them there. I haven’t talked to her since. Ironically 3 days later she got arrested for DWI and I didn’t bail her out.
I want to thank you SASless for doing what you do and there was never ever anytime to thank all you guys.
