It is time to remember the HEROES who have committed the ULTIMATE SACRIFICE: getting out of their comfort zone to help total strangers.
- Ronny and Freddy have been running the only tire shop in Moriarty for the last 50 years "because people need it";
- Phillip was nice and offered us good advice;
- John prepared an omelet for us that morning and said he wanted us to feel good about being in America. And we did!;
- Ruth let us camp on her backyard for free;
- The owner of Oak Plantation RV Park provided us shelter from the thunderstorm for free;
- Robert let us place our bikes inside the store and was very friendly;
- Sargent Cartright who helped us with our tires and sent a police car to find us and give us safety glasses on the road;
- Doni fixed my uncle's breaks for free;
- Raphael helped us with his air compressor;
- Daniel and Dorothy in Whitesboro, OK with who we spent a good two hours chatting;
- The Indians in McLoud which helped us with our tires;
- The police officer who offered water when ours had ended;
- Barbara from the Natural Bridge who was so nice and supportive;
- And so, so many countless people who whished good luck, told us to be careful and offered words of support when we needed most.
You might not be Military Veterans, but you are certainly Veterans in life and in the art of having a big, good heart.
For serving this planet and, most importantly, it's people and for being the peaceful heros we need the most, THANK YOU!!!
