Welcome Home to Wilmington's Own Senior Airman Curt Bennett

Senior Airman Curt Bennett came home today. He has been an electrician in the Air Force for six years, and achieved an Associates Degree in Mechanical/Electrical Technology. For the past few days he has been hightailing it across the country from Nellis AFB, NV with his wife, young son and some kind of dog. I never did see the dog.

His mother asked Warriors Watch for a special homecoming. I won't go through all the shenanigans it took to make this a surprise, but suffice it to say we finally got everyone mustered at Smaltz Harley Davidson out by Exton, PA this afternoon.

It was just like the Army. Hurry up and wait. Curt's wife was in on the surprise, and she was in telephone contact with Curt's mother. The whole time, we were just hanging at Smaltz's.

Here is Chainsaw, Lutz, and Wolfman gabbin' (as usual). Lutz is the founder of Warriors Watch.

Chainsaw and Ducttape:

I liked this 1948 Panhead. There is just something about it:

Some guys are man enough to wear pink, LOL.

Curt and family finally arrived. From right to left it is Curt, his wife, Curt's Mom, and Curt's son. Sorry I don't know everybody's name:

Group shot before we left Smaltz's:

We had a police escort through PA, but lost it once we hit DE. We went Route 100 to 202. There's alot of crazy drivers out there. The Bennett family lives right around the corner from us (little did we know). The neighborhood was out in force, waving flags and cheering the Delaware native as he finally got home:

I loved this lady ! She wanted her picture next to a motorcycle, and found one to match her outfit. I believe it was Mr. Bennett who kept saying, "Back in the day, honey. Back in the day." She was bad to the bone:

Getting ready to go, the old Curmudgeon got her pic taken with Lutz:

Hey, welcome home, Curt. Your family, your neighborhood, your State and your country are very proud of you. And thanks for letting a bunch of knarly old biker vets escort you home.
