Congratulations to Jim and Lori Mellons...

Post by biggersm »

...on their wedding today. It was a perfect day for an outdoor wedding. Sunny, very light breeze and temps in the low 80s. People from the Sunshine State Voyagers and the Veteran's Nation Riding Association, along with other family and friends were present to enjoy the ceremony.

Jim and Lori have done many wonderful things for the AVA and the SSV and their other cause of helping veterans. Last weekend Jim and Lori got the Veteran's Nation to contribute a very sizable donation to help assist an active duty troop who I work with and who was in a very serious motorcycle accident.

As Jim pointed out we were at a Harley Davidson dealer witnessing a Victory dealership owner unit a Kawasaki couple together.

We wish we took more pictures but we hope you enjoy the couple of photos below.

Thank you Mike, it was good seeing you and Marcia today, it was also good to see Carl Leo too. Yes it was a perfect Florida day, and I married my best friend today. It was a Honor to ride up for the downed Hero and represent Veterans Nation Riding Association with a donation, it's days like that, that make all the hard work Lori and I do in the VNRA all worth it. It was good to hear the he has made some improvements and may be getting a little feeling back in his legs, please keep us posted on his progress.
