AFTER-RIDE REPORT FILED FOR WWR ILLINOIS STATE COORDINATOR JON:

The sun was shining brightly and the temperature was approaching 90 degrees when we had our ride brief prior to riding to surprise Private Resendez who home on leave. Around 50 or so of Warriors’ Watch’s new members had the bikes polished and cages ready to go.

Irish, our Ride Captain for this ride spoke about Jacob and his family. Our LEO support was fantastic, multiple squad cars with lights flashing and sirens screaming as we entered the State Park and made our way to Jacob’s party. It seemed if the entire park stopped what they were doing to come and what all the noise was about. When they saw it was for a returning Warrior, they all gathered around Jacob and his family to offer their thanks. Jacob, known by his friends and family as Tank, was one happy soldier to see us.

Here’s a picture of Jacob:
