It was a pleasure to meet with you this week, and the ride along for a few miles.

I saw you this morning on Rt 17 in Jefferson, Maine. Just a few more miles and you will be done running, but the memory of your trip will last a lifetime for you, me, and all of those you have touched along the way.

I will be there tomorrow when you finish.

Thank you for what you have done.

I can’t thank you enough for honoring our fallen heroes in this way. I also thank you for spending time with my daughter, Joey’s widow, at the Wood’s home … it meant a lot to her. We hope to see you in Rockland when you finish. God bless you, Mike.

What a tribute you have paid to these servicemen who have given their lives for the freedom of others. Just to let you know, those Waterford School students were K through grade 8. My son is in the 7th grade and told me about your visit.

The journey you are on now has earned you yet another level of respect not only from your family but many others.

The fear that those of us living is that after after were gone we will become forgotten as the memory fade.

You have absorbed the stories of personal loss and the joyous memories of many on this journey ~ and that is a task that would humble most.

We will see you in Maine soon.

My plan was to only ride the first leg of his Maine crossing… I had such a great time I have decided to go with him to Rockland. Oxford county along with members of the Patriot Guard Riders also came along in support of this tribute. The weather today was a New England Fall day, but the warmth of the foliage at its peek made it all worth it. Thanks to all the well wisher that have taken time out of their day to wave, even had a young man of 10-11 proudly waving Old Glory. The warmth that I felt from that carried me to the end of the day. Thanks to my wife for coming to fetch me up each night with a hot meal, I love you! Laura
