V.A. Hospital Christmas party

I went to the VA Hospital in Long Beach with the Patriot Guard Riders today. They were having their Christmas Party. The vets being treated there really need visitors to lift their spirits and not just on holidays.
We all met up at Woody's on PCH in Seal Beach for breakfast and to gather. Then we all headed up PCH to the hospital.
