My hat is off and my hand is over my heart to all who rode this ride and to all who made it possible. I pray daily for the safe return of all our military people in harm’s way. I also pray for the fallen, the many wounded warriors and all their families. Your strength of will amazes me. We all witness that your wounds of flesh do not diminish your lives and we are so inspired. Stay Strong and God Bless You All.

Thank you for your service and for allowing all of us to be a small part of your adventure!!!

Greeting Shipmates;

So please infor this Chief Petty Officer what he need to do to join up and ride in this Great Event?. And that means the entire Event and all future events?

As a Patriot Guard Rider in Utah, I had the opportunity to ride with these people on Friday, June 4, 2010
from Moneca, Utah to Cedar City, Utah. My job was to provide “rode safety support” from vehicle traffic along the route making sure the bike riders were protected.
I was so moved to be in the presence of these really great people. I tried to Thank each of them for what
the were doing and let them know how much I respected them and was in awe of their abilities.
They were all very appreciative of the protection service the PGR provided, but it is each and every one of them that should be appreciated. It was an honor for me to be there. At rest stops along the way we had the opportunity to have great visits with them, WOW, what a group of people. Good luck and the very best to all of you.

I came upon your police ecort and riding team near the base of Sand Mountain Nevada along Highway 50… You made an impact on this guy..True heros in my book! Good luck.. and keep on keepin' on!

Mike–
You are awesome! You are my favorite Wounded Warrior. Every day I thank God that you can get up and ride a two-wheeled bike, that you can walk, that you are happy, that we are together. Stay strong and do not let anyone tell you that you can't or shouldn't do something. Show everyone, show the world what you can do. I am proud to be your wife and so proud that you are doing this. Ride strong, ride hard, and I will see you in Pittsburgh! Go Army!!! Ok, Go Air Force too. (Thanks Joe O'Callaghan of Irish Cycles, all the Doctors and Nurses of Arizona Pain Management, all the Doctors and Nurses of Arizona Neurological Associates, and special thanks to the Medics, Nurses, Doctors, and everyone who brought my husband home to me. Essayons!)

If this is your frist time looking at this site be prepared to be blown away. The ride is 4, 000 miles OK that is impressive but it is 63 days averaging about 60 miles per day riding though whatever weather they can safely negotiate. Oh yeah, the routes include hills and uneven roads…and some people who don't like you or respect your right to pedal on a road. Now add to all that most of your teammates have a limb or two that doesn't function as it used to and 5 of your teammates are even pedaling with their arms. If you are impressed you probably have a percent of the challenge. These are great Americans who are validating this generation as America's new “greatest generation”. They are showcasing the resilence that is sometimes questioned; the advancements in medicine and equipment for all who are willing to try and leading the way for others who may have been the unfortunate casualities of our long wars…and accidents or challenges from birth. If they ride through or near your town ride with them for a period 1 mile or a 100–you will be moved and rejuvenated. God Bless them all–even the crusty ones like Rory!!!!

Hello, Fellow Veterans, Fallon NV and the American Legion Churchill Post 16 are lookomg forward to meeting you all… see you soon. Post 16 Adjutant and Past Commander
