Very cool Jim...
I just hired a young man who had two tours of duty in the Marines in Iraq and I can’t tell you how impressed I was with this young man. He had to fight several times hand to hand combat with the Taliban to survive and help save the lives of his fellow troupes, I know his stories are true because I know another guy that was in his group of Marines he toured with who was with him when he took some shrapnel from an IUD flying into the area they were clearing… and he told us how this young man saved his life. But he never mentioned that, he only talked about the people he met and how the locals gave our troops ice and water while they were still involved in an intense gun battle for more than 4 hours… while taking casualties all around him, what they're going through fighting for their own lives is unimaginable, I can’t imagine going through that, but let me tell you, these are some brave young men and women we have fighting for us over there, and what they’ve been through to secure our life style and freedom is priceless…. Let’s never forget that.. so please, say a little prayer for them every night when you lay down in the comfort of your home, that’s the least we can do… later, BDR

I saw them do a POW/MIA tribute bike build on Orange County Choppers one night. Really nice ride! That one WAS a bike JIM.
Good eyes Randy--it is a trike. My bad.

Living here in the NY metro area, and being an old biker I have found my way up to OCC's on several occasions. Most of the bikes they built for the show are on display in their showroom, like a museum. The FDNY bike, NYPD bike, Lincoln motors, and others are all their. But no bike receives the attention and is more revered than the POW-MIA bike. All the visitors head straight over to it and just stand quietly before it, almost like visiting a memorial. The only other bike that receives near this type attention is their FDNY 9/11 tribute bike.
To all who have served this Country I say a heart felt THANK YOU. Without your service we would not be able to enjoy all the things we like to talk about here. Some gave some...some gave all.

This trike's artwork blows OCC's out of the water. Beautiful work & wonderful tribute to all military branches.
And to the men & women who are serving in the military, we say Thank You & ask God to watch over them each & everyday. Keep them safe & bring them home to their loved ones. And for those who have given their lives so we remain free, your memories will live on in our hearts.
