Wounded Warrior Project
Today was the first day of the Wounded Warrior
Project and it began with a bike ride from Texoma
Harley-Davidson to the Veterans Hospital in Bonham.
Approximately 50 riders showed up for the ride with
the entry fees going to the injured veterans and spouses of
Afghanistan and Iraq. The weather could not have
been better for this event as the temperature was
around ninety and very little cloud cover. The group
took the scenic route to Bonham and it was a good
ride as the road captains held up traffic while the
bikes went through major intersections. The veterans
were out in force to meet with us and really looked
like they enjoyed the visit. When the riders returned
to Sherman a meal was ready at Loy Lake Park. There
was also a silent auction with the proceeds all going
going to the WWP. Saturday night there was a live
concert at Loy Lake Park and on Sunday a pistol
competition will be held at Red River Firearms
Shooting Range. It was a good day and all done for
a good project.
