Minnesota - PLAINVIEW - At 4:15 p.m. on Saturday, Rob Mischke sat in his wheelchair in the parking lot of the St. Isidore Health Center of Greenwood Prairie, waiting. His family, friends, and care-givers huddled around him in a small circle, straining their ears towards the highway, listening.
At 4:30 p.m., the rumble of more than 100 motorcycle engines signaled the end of their wait. A hundred or so members of the Sons of Silence Motorcycle Club pulled into the parking lot, a blur of motorcycles, black leather, bandanas and sunglasses. They were there to fulfill a special wish for one of their brothers.
Mischke, 54, suffers from multiple scerlosis and has lived at St. Isodore's since 2001. He became a member of the Sons of Silence in 1980. The small rally in St. Isidore's parking lot was made possible by the St. Isidore's "Winter Wish" program - an annual holiday fundraiser that aims to make the wishes of St. Isidore residents possible. The fulfillment of Mischke's wish was a result of a joint effort of the Heartland Hospice, Sons of Silence MC and SIHCGP Foundation.

This is proof positive that clubs never forget about their brothers no matter what takes them out of the ranks. When an MC professes their club and brothers forever - forever their club and brothers they "mean it". That's something society will never understand because they've had a constant diet of bullshit from the cops and the media. L&R to the SOS for showing your brother some serious love and respect
