Congressman Bill Posey shows up for Wreaths Across America by Miserable George
The Wreaths Across America Program was established several years ago to pay tribute to our deceased fighting men and women, who are interred in one of the many National Cemeteries across the country. Cape Canaveral National Cemetery joined the program in 2016…a year after opening in 2015.
The event took place on Dec. 17, 2016, on a warm, beautiful day, attracting a huge crowd, which included U.S.Congressman, Bill Posey.
A moment of silence was observed, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance, the National Anthem, an invocation, and, retiring of the colors. Next came the placing of the Ceremonial Wreaths, remarks from the dignitaries, Benediction, a 21 gun salute, and Taps.
This was followed by the actual placing of the wreaths against every headstone in the cemetery …very inspiring and emotional.
They tell me that there were over 200 bikers who rode in from all over Brevard County, to pay their respects to the over 1520 veterans buried here.
The ceremonial wreaths were brought in on a caisson drawn by 2 army mules, and the wreaths to be placed against the headstones, were delivered by Walmart Transport personnel.
Thanks to all who helped make this event a huge success. It was a day to be remembered!!

V K ROUND-UP CAR SHOW by Miserable George
You can always count on the V-K Car Club to come up with an enjoyable presentation of cars and motorcycles, and, Dec. 11, 2016, in Rockledge, Fl., was no exception…!
Although the weather was a bit threatening, with a light sprinkle or two, the crowd was nominal and seemed to be enjoying the show.
There was everything from sleek Shelby’s, to rusty, ragged, (but, super-powered) Rat Rods…and I’d say…everything in between!!!
I certainly enjoyed the afternoon, gazing wistfully at some super 392 HEMI powered monster street machines…Ya well, can’t have it all. I’ll have to settle for my own toned down HEMI…!! I love that truck!!!
Hey, keep yer eyes peeled for the next local car show….always very enjoyable…! Support our VETS, and ride safely…

BIKE DAY AT AMERICAN LEGION POST #1 by Miserable George
Saturday, Dec. 10, 2016, produced a bit of a chill in the air on the Space Coast, but, that didn’t stop a hardy bunch of riders from showing up at Bike Day, at Legion #1, just north of Titusville, Fl.
It was also a day to remember our vets, especially the more unfortunate ones, during this Christmas Season.
An auction along with several substantial donations, brought in some much needed cash for the cause. It was also a day to remember deceased Legion members.
On the lighter side, the crowd chose an elf to help Santa out in his travels!!!! She can help ME out, anytime!!!
A 50/50 drawing, plus lots to eat and drink, rounded out a very pleasant day at #1…Hope to see you all next month…remember ALL our vets…ALWAYS…
