Today was a celebration at the Orlando Nam Knights clubhouse. The annual bike week party was a lot of fun but after the party, the Nam Knights lost one of their own and another one is badly injured along with a wife. I just got back from the hospital and will have more news as soon as all the family members have been notified. For now, please pray for the family and the brotherhood of the Nam Knights.
