Recovered Eagle's Release A Tribute To Patriot Guard Founder
A bald eagle got a special send off Saturday as he returned to the wild after recovering from an injury. His flight also served as a special tribute to an American Legion Rider who died in December. If you have photos of the release, send them to news@kake.com

Natasha, you are #1 to the Legion Riders, The first to understand the difference between us and Patriot Guard. You catch us in different acts of kindness whether it is honoring a soldier, or our community. Thank you.

It was great to see how many people took the opportunity to see this bald eagle release. It was a beautiful day and a graceful release.

Can you explain why, everytime I try to watch a video clip on this site, I can only view the commercial, then a still photo of the listed event, not the event video, just the commercial for COX, over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and, well I think you get the message, any help?

Great story--it highlights our national symbol and pays a tribute to the fallen Patriot Guard member. I love Natasha's animal stories!
