"Folks, this short video is a beautiful example of how a town welcomes home their hero! US Army Sgt. Chris Broussard is welcomed home in Oakley the RIGHT WAY!! Three tours in Afghanistan. He's a Ranger, and is already back for his fourth tour! I promise you will love this video, all towns should do this!" __Bryan Welden (Video by Dr. Burt)

As a follow up on my riding duties using Black Widow 2 as a fellow Warriors Watch Rider in Northern California, attached is a rare video shot by our ride captain, Spike Schau from his Harley at 50+/- mph going South on 680 with his daughter on board. This was shot last week. Our mission was to escort the Huey from Concord to the Alameda Fair Grounds to be on display during the East Bay Stand Down, a major event for the homeless vets held every two years. We had 400+ vets this year and I spent two over-nighters as a security and safety volunteer. As a Vietnam era veteran this was a life-changing experience shared with my "band of brothers" fellow WWRs.
