This Welcome Home for Spc Eric Sprague had a few twists n turns in it concerning times and such.

First it was 0800 hrs at Ft Dix New Jersey. Then, 1000hrs on the fly from New jersey to Penna. Then, it was 1100 hrs in Penna. then, 1130hrs. One thing for sure is WWR was Escorting this soldier home. That we did. We were all rallied in a shopping center parking lot waiting for Eric, as his wife was picking him up and taking him to us. For a Tuesday morning/afternoon it was a beautiful day with great showing of support. 15-20? I didn’t count. At 2100hrs we got notification that they were close from Erics sister in-law Jen, who was with us the whole time. Erics’ sister is an EMT with the Haverford Fire Dept. They picked up Eric along with Haverford Police Dept a mile down the road and escorted him to us. We heard the sirens and quickly formed a two row flagline for them to drive through. That they did. Eric got out of the van and was Welcomed Home by family that were there,,then we got to him with our MUG & HUG. I asked Haverford PD if they were escorting us to the house. The officer said no, as they were already out of their district. He made a call and the next thing I know is they are gonna escort us. NICE.

We set off with Sirens, Lights, Horns. PD1st, EMT vehicles, flagged bikes, Our Warriors Van, more bikes, cages. As traffic pulled over to let us pass, we saw many with thumbs up and lights blinking.

We arrived at the Spragues’ residence. The street was decorated for this occasion. Also, Erics wish was to see a bike in front of his house when he got home. That is exactly what was in front of his house. Shiney chrome ready to ride. We Mugged & Hugged Eric one more time. I presented Eric with our Magic Coin and informational folder of what our coins meaning is. A group pic and off we went. Ya gotta love twists &  turns in a Welcome Home.

Welcome Home Spc Eric Sprague. Enjoy your family and New Ride.

Thank You Haverford PD, Haverford Fire Dept EMTs for our Safe Escort.
