Ride Report for Ride Captain George (Navy Chief)

Warriors Watch and A Hero’s Welcome had the pleasure of welcoming home SGT. Eric Berg from his second tour and final tour of Afghanistan.  SGT. Berg enlisted in the Army in 2006 as a Combat Engineer. Erik was deployed to Afghanistan in December 2008, and served one year there, continuing his work as a Combat Engineer doing route clearance and detonating IEDs.  He deployed for a second tour in March 2011, returning in March 2012, still working as a Combat Engineer, this tour doing air assaults, along with infrastructure rebuilding.  Eric married his wife Amanda right before his second deployment and they are both looking forward starting their life together.
With perfect timing the group doing the welcome home for SGT. Cabassa arrived at the rally point just before the arrival of our Hero.
We held our usual Mug and Hug at the rally point and SGT. Berg was presented with a flag that few over our capital by State Representative Marguerite Quinn.  We then mounted up with at least 8 bikes flying big flags, 30 other bikes and a few cages we had the 1.5 mile trip to the Berg’s house.  It was great to see the yellow ribbons and people with signs out in the street for the short trip.
Once we arrived at the house there were plenty of family and friends ready to surround and welcome home SGT. Berg , We had the pleasure of coining our hero, along with AHW presenting him with his certificate, of course we had to get our pictures with the good SGT. Before we left we found a Vietnam Veteran who of course we had to coin and welcome home, I can truly say I saw tears in his eyes as we lined up to thank him for his service.
I would like to thank everybody who came out today to welcome home SGT. Berg, to those who made the mission for SGT. Cabassa and then rushed down to join us for this mission All I can say is thank you.  To the Berg family thank you ever so much for allowing all of us to be a small part in the welcoming home of this hero.
