Remains of soldier killed in Iraq return to Mass.

LAWRENCE, Mass. - The body of Army Staff Sgt. Alex Jimenez finally came home Friday, more than a year after he and two other soldiers were captured amid an ambush in Iraq.

A hearse bearing the 25-year-old's remains, escorted by State Police cruisers, van loads of fellow members of the 10th Mountain Division and the rumble of Harley-Davidson motorcycles ridden by veterans, came to a halt in front of his father's house.

Alex Jimenez regularly visited the gray two-family house in this immigrant city, often for barbecues on such sultry summer days. It has since been the scene of a 14-month vigil as the family awaited word of his fate.

Jimenez's mother, Maria Duran, peered out of a limousine and waved a white hankie to a crowd of about 50 neighbors and friends, who waved American flags at the sight of the procession. It had traveled on Interstates 93 and 495, both of which were blocked to other traffic as the motorcade traveled north.

bet there wasnt a liberal in the bunch.
they were all too busy staging some protest because they didnt get to see the body before it was cleaned up and placed in the coffin.

Hell with the family, just show me some blood.

only thing that makes them a harley rider is the fact that they were able to save enough of the welfare payments to buy the bike in the first place.
