Thank you to all the souls who braved the crisp air this morning and made the mission in Brady for Sgt. Clayton Wagner. The family asked that I pass along their many thanks and sincere gratitude to each and every one of you for being there for them in their time of sorrow and need. We do make a difference.
I believe the total tally was 15 souls (counting Hunter), 10 bikes, 1 trike, 2 cages, 1 trailer (with flags), and 1 Sidecar (with Hunter).
Thanks to all of you there in spirit too.
TC
