WWR: People Helping People
The power of people helping people is one of the reasons that the work of the Warriors' Watch Riders is "addictive." When you feel the effects of volunteerism on the people who we honor, you want to come back and do it again and again. The HGTV "Change the World for Hometown Heroes" event that we reported on in last week's The Ride went off wonderfully. It was a good, sunny, "feel-good" day of motorcycle escorts, cheering crowds, beautiful TV show hostesses and TV cameras, police escorts, and most important of all, the long-overdue "thank you" to a couple of veterans who were otherwise down-and-out, but for the kindness of volunteers. Please be sure to (click here) read the Ride Report on the HGTV Hero Event.


The national TV show will air on November 11, Veteran's Day, and we'll be sure to remind you to tune in before then.

*This newsletter is named "The Weekly Ride" or "The Ride", for short, in memory of and to honor Sgt. Jennifer Hartman, U.S. Army. Sgt. Hartman was killed in Iraq by America's enemies. She died in defense of our freedom at the age of 20. This quote from Jennifer was read at her graveside:
"It's not about what happened in the past. It's not about what might happen in the future. It's about the ride, for Christ's sake."
