Ride Report for Ride Captain Stache
Saturday May 5th 2012 was a busy day for Warrior?s Watch of NJ, This
mission was the 3rd and final one for the day. We welcomed home USMC
Reservist Sgt Lee Sweeney who just got back from Afghanistan ! Lee was
previously deployed to Kuwait and Iraq and was awarded these final
commendations : Combat Action Ribbon, NATO Ribbon, Good Conduct Medal,
President Unit Citation, Armed Forces Reserve Medal, National Defense
Ribbon, GWAT Service, GWAT Expeditionary, Iraqi Campaign, Afghanistan
Campaign, and the Sea Service Deployment Ribbon. Wow that?s a lot ! We
met at a local shopping center where about 20 bikers and a few cages
showed up and waited for the go ahead to go and welcome home this
hero. We rolled out and made our way to the house, making lots of
noise all the way to the house which was about 2 miles away ! When the
family heard us coming they all came out with American flags waving
and some of the neighbors came out as well to see what all the ruckus
was about ! There is nothing more heartwarming to see the support of
the community ! After we mugged and hugged Sgt. Sweeney we presented
him with the Warrior Watch Honor coin and Lee?s wife was given the
Spousal Certificate and Warrior Watch pin to recognize her sacrifice
and commitment as well. Lee was also presented with a bottle of
Jarhead Red from our favorite Marine ?Gunney? !! Welcome Home Sgt Lee
Sweeney !!! Enjoy the time with your family and friends !
