Thank you very much for posting this Dave, extremely heartwarming and truly inspirational. I thought that you might like to read about Phoenix, Arizona's Hero: Silvestre S. Herrera. I had the privilege of participating in a Veteran's Day Parade in downtown Phoenix with Mr. Herrera in 1994, he passed away in 2007.

Exceptional.

..and as FJR peeps we need to have that same level of caring for each other when on group rides, or even independent rides to a common destination.

Each ride is, in essence, a 'mission'.

..and yes, I'm thinking of PuppyChow and the deer strike incident.

'Leave no Rider Behind'.

PieDoc - great post mi amigo.
