3/7/2022 FDNY Brothers Shawn & Tom May arrive home from “The People’s Convoy”

3/7/2022 FDNY Brothers Shawn & Tom May arrive safely back home in Cape Coral Florida. We departed on 3/2/2022 at 1am enroute to rendezvous with “The People’s Convoy”. After a long drive on the 2nd we stayed at Huntersville, North Carolina. From there we continued through North Carolina (To be Rather Than to Seem), Virginia (Thus Always to Tyrants), West Virginia (Mountaineers are always free) and eventually making our way to Cambridge Ohio (With God All Things are Possible). We were fortunate enough to arrive at Cambridge Ohio an hour before the convoy rolled into town. What a sight! Very impressive! After an evening rally, we left the following morning and traveled to Hagerstown Maryland. Early on into that leg of the trip my pickup experienced a head gasket issue. We almost aborted the trip and traveled back home, but remembered that Pastor James Ryan from the Lighthouse Mission In Bellport was praying for us. Pastor Jim, when special called, never misses with the man upstairs, so we continued on. We pulled in about an hour and a half after the convoy had arrived at Hagerstown, and attended the rally at the Hagerstown Speedway. Here we got to meet more of the truckers and organizers of “The People’s Convoy”. Beautiful people, can’t say enough about them! True blue American! The rally started off with the National Anthem, followed by a number of speakers. Mike, the lead organizer, who claimed not to like speaking in front of people gave an impressive speech! Mike definitely has a talent for speaking at a live event! Pastor Reyes followed with an impressive invocation. Pastor Reyes was followed by the very knowledgeable Dr Kory. The good doctor spoke for about 10 minutes. We retired back to our hotel room, and the following day visited our mother in Mariottsville Maryland on the 5th. Sunday morning, we met “The People’s Convoy” as they left the raceway. Boy oh boy, what a line of trucks. One more beautiful than the next! Definitely some pride in ownership with these Big Rigs. After falling in behind one of the Big Rigs we made our way to Route 70, and eventually to the DC Beltway. We completed two passes around. What an experience! Thousands of people lined the bridges and roadways. Many people appeared to just come out of the woods waving flags. It was an incredible sight. While we both witnessed this incredible turn out of Americans supporting “The People’s Convoy” we were always cognizant of why we were there. And that was to have the Covid Mandates completely rescinded. Shawn and I represented the forgotten 1500 plus FDNY brothers and sisters who faced termination for failure to receive an experimental vaccine, that they did not wish to take. Hopefully America can put this dark period in our history behind us. Maybe the answer lies in Ohio’s motto, “With God All Things are Possible”. With fluid loss being a constant problem in our truck we decided to head on home. We were making pretty good time, and doing periodic fluid checks, but once we hit the Georgia (Wisdom, Justice and Moderation) border we started to lose cooling fluid rapidly. Every 25 miles, we had to pull over and add a gallon of water. It was looking as if our truck was was not going to make it to Cape Coral, Florida (In God We Trust), so at 3:30am a special text was sent to Pastor Jim seeking back up. Things improved, and eventually halfway through Florida the leaking subsided and we made our final destination! It was a great trip, so glad we made it!! Hopefully it will make a difference.
