Fantastic visit at VFW Post 2618. The post treated us to great friendship and dinner. Several American Legions were present. They also made a donation to the PTSD Ride. Tomas was very grateful. Thank you!!

We were able to visit Barksdale AFB and Ft Polk Army base. Tomas decided he wanted to be a tank driver. Tom had to assist him to get on the tank. Saw a lot of young active duty personnel and we knew we were on this ride for the right reasons.

Visited Post 240 in Pensacola Fl on our ride for PTSD. Great people and they let us speak at their general meeting. They were all very generous with a donation as well as purchase of our challenge coins. Thank you very much for a great evening

What a great day for the team and Tomas. The Coast Guard sent riders out to meet us and ride into Mobile. The young guys made us work but we did not stop. We arrived in Arlington Park where the celebration began. Plenty of food on hand. The Chief Petty Officers Association treated us real special. Thank you, Pablo and all of your supporters.

Got to Hattiesvile, MS, and rode on a real neat bike trail. After that we had lunch at Southern Seafood and Deli. I had shrimp and gumbo, Joe had a shrimp po boy, Tom had catfish and Bill had a hamburger. Who in his right mind would have a hamburger at a seafood place?? It was great food. Good times

The Department of Texas is taking the lead for the second time to fight PTSD and Be The One. Last year at the National Convention in New Orleans, LA, Texas rode bicycles from Dallas, TX to New Orleans. A total of 491 miles. Now, 4 members of The American Legion and 2 members of The Sons of the American Legion are riding to the National Convention in Tampa, FL, 1,275 miles to once again put The Department of Texas leading the fight against PTSD. Who are these 6 members?? Does it matter? They know the mission of The American Legion and are doing what the Founding Fathers created us for – taking care of our veterans and in this case and our first responders also. In order for the Department of Texas to be first, it will take every post, unit, squadron, and chapter to support this ride with donations to fight PTSD. To those that have already donated – THANK YOU.
For those that have not donated, what is stopping you from supporting our American Legion program, our veterans, and our first responders.
