These 1/9 “Walking dead” Marines served 40 years ago together. They came in from across the country for the CPL Curtis M Swenson Memorial golf benefit. By Saturday, there were 3 more that joined them. What a great reunion.

A post from David Bronk. Thank you for Honoring Curtis in this way.

This Is my second year in the Tour of Honor. I ride to Honor those that gave it their all. Or are still serving in the military, police officer, Fireman or First Responder. If it wasn't for them, we wouldn't have the freedom to ride in this wonderful country. Last year my flag had a picture of my wife that died on 12/12/23. She rode with me for 214 different Memorials last year. This year with the blessing of Dave and Kay I will be riding for their Son.
CPL Curtis Swenson. So everywhere I go this year he will be with me. My guardian angel Marilyn, her picture is the upper right-hand corner will watch over us. Hope to meet some of the riders on the road. Plus, the Ride to Meet will be in my town of Winona. MN in September.
