Oklahoma's fallen Hero returns home

[Phill Griggs]

Most of you know Claremore, Ok lost one of it's young american heros 10 days ago in Afghanistan . Today he return home to a very grateful city, state and nation. The PGR and other Groups escorted PFC Jon Townsend's body from TIA to Clarmore this morning after the dignified transfer. As we made our way to Claremore from Tulsa Int'l Airport People where standing along the roads holding flags saluting and those that didn't salute had their hands over their heart. When we got to the Funeral home I notice most of the 75 or so riders where getting out the old Kleenex because not one of us had dry eyes. I tried to capture some of this respect shown by the community and put it in a short Photo show.
