While serving in the Army I had always promised myself upon retirement I would buy a Harley Davidson. During my 24 years of active duty I had served around the world, but I am most proud of my service and the men and women I fought with during combat operations in Mogadishu Somalia, a war that would all but be forgotten were it not for the movie “Blackhawk Down.”

In a tribute to all who served there especially those who made the ultimate sacrifice I honor them with this plate, MOGVET (Mogadishu Veteran).
