Captain Charles Peal

We got up a little after 4am this morning. We left at 5:30 to be in Nashville by 7:30....we gave ourselves what we though would be enough time to stop for breakfast and have a nice leisurely drive.....glad we left when we did. We ran into traffic at a complete standstill.....no accidents or anything....just Nashville traffic. Anyway, we got to the cemetery at a little after 7:30 and attendees and dignitaries started arriving at 8. They had the bikes line up against the curb and when the Honor Guard passed they had the bikes fire up and rev the engines....Captain Peal had been a biker before WWII. They finished the ceremony by driving Capt. Peal's best friend to the gravesite escorted by 2 of the bikes. Right after that is when the butterfly spent 30 minutes with me.

After we finished the ceremony 7 of us headed to IHOP to spent a little time together before heading our separate ways....we had a good time. TJ wanted to get another MegaMillions ticket so we went 200 miles out of our way to GA to get one before heading home. I took a nap in the car on the way home from GA.....but not before getting to see an Osprey near the Tennessee River...didn't have the long lens on the camera so I couldn't get a shot. But it was a good day anyway...the group that put the service together did a good job!
