Ride Report posted for Archie

90 year Old LTC Warren Rummelhoff had tears in his eyes as the Warriors Watch Riders pulled up in front of him at a DuPage County Forrest Preserve. I don’t know if it was the flags flying on the bikes or the people who were on the bikes that brought tears to his eyes..

 Warren turned 90 on Sat. and the family lured him there under the pretense that the gathering  was for a wedding for one of my kids. Warren served in the Navy for 24 years, serving on about 6 different ships during that time frame. He mainly was an aerial photographer during his stint.   Warren was without a doubt very emotional and felt honored and overwhelmed at our attention to him. Like many of our Veterans the site of our flag flying brings so many emotions to the surface so many  memories renewed.

Heck he even wanted to pay for our gas. Terry explained to him that he has long since paid for and deserved this small moment. After all the Warriors Watch folks had departed he took me to the side and said he did not deserve this honor.  I said Warren each and every man and woman who serves deserves a thank you such as this and I wish we could do them all. To all the Warriors Watch Riders who came out THANK YOU.
