To my fellow Forgotten Eagles, veterans from every force, the awesome community that we are blessed to be living in, friends & family.
It is a humble honor that I stand before you today to personally tell you with a most grateful heart to say “THANK YOU” from the bottom of our
hearts, for all the loving & caring concern, words of encouragement, the kind of support I never even knew existed, the hugs, handshakes, or even a slight nod or a silent prayer said in our behalf meant more to us than you’ll ever know. It is all of this together that has gotten us through the most difficult year of Dennis’ & my families lives.
Thanks to all of you who have made a difference in our lives to help us get through a time when we didn't know how we were going to get through this tragic loss of Dennis, but we did & here we all stand today to honor and respect his memory along with so many others.
You know when Dennis first got his Harley Road King, he was like a little kid with a new toy, which it was. But he was also searching for something. I’m not sure if he even knew what it was he was looking for, besides a group to ride with, being disabled there was to much time on his hands, he needed to have a purpose, to be constructive.
Well believe me when he found the Forgotten Eagles website that's all we heard about at home, it got to be on obsession, we couldn't even use the computer during this time until he was done doing whatever it was he was doing. Then one day he tells me that they wanted him to start a chapter here in the Copper Country with him as president. I thought “Oh good now he has something to keep him busy”, what I didn't realize yet is what your Forgotten Eagles Chapters stood for. You were fellow veterans & even non veterans helping Michigan veterans & their families get the help they needed, whether it was information, monetary help or being the most wonderful support system I hove ever encountered, Thank you! And much, much more. Plus you rode motorcycles! That was the biggest plus ever, he could ride in the wind with all of you and enjoy what he was doing.
This is when Dennis' obsession turned into an enthusiastic passion, & I’m proud to say he did start a Chapter of the Forgotten Eagles here in the Copper Country which as you can see I proudly represent now and will keep the family traditions with Kylie & Greg, we will all proudly represent & support our veterans and their families. After all it is our military forces & their families who sacrifice so much to keep our nation free & safe from harmsway.
Thank you for giving Dennis that missing piece of his life that he needed to be useful & constructive to help others. He truly is riding in the wind with all of us now.
THANK YOU ONE & ALL
Kathleen Cleary, Kylie & Greg & All of Dennis’ family
MAY GOD BLESS EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU
