Please come out to welcome home Gunny Sgt. Lawrence (Larry) Trimmer from serving in Afghanistan. Larry is 40 years old.

While not deploying with the Marines, Larry works for USPS as a letter carrier. He is married to Janette and they have 2 daughters; Juliana is 7 yrs old and Jocelyn is 4 yrs old. Larry likes to spend his spare time running marathons and doing triathlons.

So here is the plan…since Larry’s flight has been delayed, Plan B is in effect. His wife will be taking him out for lunch on Sunday, and the bikers will be waiting for them and then will escort him home to a loud noisy group of patriots.
