Tribute To The Troops

tributetothetroops.org - Sep 11, 12, 13, 2009 was the Ride via motorcycle and support vehicles to the homes of 5 families who lost a loved one in Iraq or Afghanistan. Try going to these homes without sobbing. If it were not for the sacrifice made by our fallen heroes, and yes their families too, I would not be able to write this blog.
This was the 6th year Tribute To The Troops took to the road visiting the homes of the families of our fallen soldiers with wives and children, grandmothers and grandfathers, aunts, uncles, mom's and dad's present at the homes. Dear heavens the loss hits you directly in the face and you feel as though your heart is going to break!
A Concert is always held on the last day of the Ride at the Medina Ent Center featuring local kick butt artists and phenominal national recording artist Rockie Lynne, one of the founders of Tribute To The Troops along with Gregg Schmitt. Giving everything they got to the families who attend the concert, it is an extraordinary event. The families are simply precious and filled with such gratitude for the Ride, the Riders, the Concert, with many gracious thank you's. Tribute To The Troops created an educational fund for the children of our fallen heroes. The Riders are extraordinary people giving to the families and children of our fallen soldiers. We are indeed a nation of good people.
