Ride Report for Ride Captain Tamale (Pat)

It was a damp, rainy evening that was picked for our famed “restaurant invasion”  of The Manyunk Brewing Co. Warriors Watch Riders and A Heros Welcome waited patiently for the rain to deminish in volume before we conducted our ride briefing.  Well, that didn’t work at all.  As soon as we got out of our cages, the sky opened up and dumped buckets on us.  This did not dampen our enthusiasm for the upcoming mission.

Just weeks earlier, we welcomed home and escorted Sr. Airman Patti Lee and her son, 11 month old Ryan to a wonderful Christmas holiday with her family.  Patti is on leave from a Japan deployment.  Tonight, we mugged-n-hugged Patti’s boyfriend (Ryan’s father), Sr. Airman Sean Martin,  who is home on Christmas leave from Afghanistan.

Also in attendance were the families of Patti and Sean.  WWR coined Sean and AHW presented their certificate. We then followed up with the coining of Sean’s father, Bob Martin, who has retired after 30 years of service in the DEA.  We are truly grateful to meet and get to know the Lee and Martin families.  We are hoping to see Trish Lee (Patti’s mother) at some of our upcoming missions.

Happy Holidays to all!  We look forward to seeing you all again.

Respectfully submitted,
Tamale (Pat)
