Ride Report posted for John Drake
Lcpl Joshua Slone was welcomed home by his parents and siblings at the Midway airport Friday afternoon.  Little did he know there were others waiting for him at the cell phone lot.  When Lcpl Slone arrived he found a flag line stood by well wishers, Warrior Watch Riders, the Illinois State Police, and the Plainfield Emergency Management Unit.  He was shocked.  With the LEO support we were escorted from Midway to Batavia where we were met by the Batavia Fire Department and Police.  We were then escorted to a park where the Mayor was waiting with many citizens of Batavia.  The Mayor welcomed Slone home and asked him to attend the next City Council meeting where Slone would be presented with a Proclamation from Batavia.
