Hey Folks, I just wanted to take the time to thank you all for your gift it was a great surprise. I'm stationed here with about 300 German soldiers and they all know about Harley-Davidson -- they treat the posters and calendars like they were getting a piece of American treasure.... What impressed me the most was the flag and card, the heartfelt thanks and support written on the flag helps remind me of what we are fighting for. If you could pass on my thanks to the many people who took the time to think of this Sergeant from Alpine NY, I would be forever grateful. "Ride hard and live free!"
Thanks again, SGT Robert J Terry LST Feyzbad, Afghanistan P.S.I love the Cross bones Harley it kicks ass! ___________________________________
Ithaca Harley-Davidson would like to thank all who stopped by the store to sign our flag in support of our troops for Harley-Davidson’s Military Appreciation Month in November. Our flag, along with Marissa Miller Harley-Davidson calendars, posters and postcards, was sent to the LST 1 Fox Co. 48th Brigade in Feyzbad, Afghanistan with a Special Salute to our “closest” home-town soldier Robert J. Terry, son of Mary Ellen Terry of Alpine. Bob’s roots literally start on the opposite corner of where Ithaca Harley-Davidson is now located at Alpine Junction. Immediately following graduation from Odessa-Montour Central School in 1987, Bob joined the Marine Corps and deployed to Desert Storm with the 1st Marine Division in 1991. He completed active duty in 1992 and went to work as a civilian at the Marine Corps Logistics Base in Albany, Georgia. Being on base just wasn’t enough for this guy! He joined the Navy Reserve as a Seebee for two years followed by the Air National Guard where he worked in Air Transportation as a cargo parachute rigger. Upon completion of that enlistment, he checked into the Army National Guard in Albany Georgia where today he is a Tracked Vehicle and Light Wheeled Mechanic. In Afghanistan they mentor the Afghan Army running convoys and combat patrols with NATO forces. Bob is planning to return to the states and his wife Melissa in March.
