One would be great for me and 250 should be more than enough but I bet you don't take any home with you.

He is buried in Wichita at the Resthaven Garden of Memories,in the Garden of the Cross. If you know or could possibly find out for me, is this place any were in the vicinity of where the CR is going close to? If you can help me out, please feel free to e-mail me at coby2@telus.net.

Good morning Shewolf. I know a "Canadian" boy who would be proud to wear that, in fact, I'll take two (2) if possible!!
Let me know how much and where to send you the $$$.
They look great, you should be very proud.

Good morning bud! Seems I can't shut up this morning:):)
My "wingman", Galuppe, has mentioned "Rainelle Elementary School" several times and I noticed it mentioned by many others on the Forem as well. There is an obvious connection to this school and the children who live in this little town. Could some one who has the time, please bring me up to speed about this little piece of America?
I am trying to get my hands on as many "Canadian" flag pins as I can, but before I do, would I be allowed to pass them out along with some"RFTW" and "POW/MIA"pins?
In closing, I have (some where), a small to medium size Canadian flag. Who could tell me if I could "donate" it to the Rainelle School or would that be a breach of any rules or regs and require authorizon from the BOD??
Hope all is well with every one, Semper Fi.

Mongoose........Welcome Home and Welcome to the RFTW Family.  I can not speak for Rainelle as I ride the SR, but we have a couple schools on our route and pins and other items are passed out.  I am sure the Canadian pins would be welocmed as well.  I started passing out a photo of General last year as kind of a collector card.  Changed the photo for this years card.  semper fi.

Mike -- great picture of General this year.

Mongoose -- kids will appreciate anything you can bring.  School asks that we not give the kids candy though.  Just wait until you see that welcome, won't believe your eyes!

I picked up some pencils to hand out this year ("RFTW 2011 Work Hard, Go Far") and also plan to pick up some RFTW pins at RC to hand out at the Vet Centers we visit, along with some of the other folks we meet along the way.

Mongoose - welcome home and welcome to RFTW. You will enjoy the Rainelle stop. The kids don't ask for anything, but it's kind of nice to have something for them. My first year I didn't have anything for them but the kids and the townspeople still made me feel very welcome. I have a couple of videos I made with my video-glasses last year. They aren't great quality and the dates on most of them are incorrect due to a technical difficulty, but you're welcome to view them on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=rtkjsharp  Just turn down your volume if you're watching any of the riding videos, the mike picked up a lot of wind noise.

You could start a thread with their names in the title- if they come online they won't miss that!
Freedom. It seems to frighten a lot of people, but I am sold on it.

I clicked on both links about Rainelle and it said something about those with motels waiting went on and others stayed to camp. Does that mean we motel people will not get to linger in Rainelle???
