Marine Tribute Bike |
| by Larry
Tremblay, Sr. |
|
I shall never forget
that day in April of 2005 when two Marines came to my home to inform
me of the death of my beloved son Joey in Iraq. During the two
to three months that followed Joey's death an idea formed in my mind
to build a tribute to Joey that would make him proud and that
everyone who saw it would always remember Joey and all the other
young men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice for their
country. |
|
It is in this vein
that the Marine (Tribute-Memorial) Bike was started. The
Marine Bike was built for one, dedicated to a few and in honor of
all who have fallen defending our great nation. My son Joey
and I used to spend time together watching Jesse James on the
Discovery Channel and the Biker Build Offs. We both enjoyed
and admired the skill and talent it took to build a motorcycle that
I thought would be a great monument to the son I so loved and
missed. |
|
There are many people
and companies that have helped this idea come to life. This
bike could not have been built without the help, talent, and support
from the following: Power Tech of New Windsor NY, RPM Choppers
Newburgh NY, Hannoush Jewelers Newburgh Mall Newburgh NY, Dino
Petrocelli photographer Lathan NY, Moto Insanity Marlboro NY, JB
Graffix Newburgh NY, Richard's Military Post Exchange Port Jervis
NY, Custom Machinery Newburgh NY, and Stevenson Lumber Co. New
Windsor NY |
|
To all those listed
above, and to all I may have left out by mistake, my heartfelt
thanks. I could not have accomplished this memorial to my son
and the many others without you. To my son Joey I know you are
looking down from above and smiling. I hope you are proud of
the bike, as we are so proud of you. I will hold you in my
heart forever. |
|
Until we meet
again, |
|
I love you, |
|
Dad |
