I rode with Major Solheim in the 2009 Face of America ride. He hadn't been fitted for a prosthesis at that time and did the 2 day ride from Bethesda, MD to Gettysburg, PA on a hand cycle. I understand that his goal at that time to ride a road bike has been fulfilled and he is out enjoying the freedom of his bicycle with his new prosthesis.

I look forward to the day when I can ride with him again.

I had the pleasure and honor of speaking to one of our Wounded Warriors recently and I can not say enough what their courage and outlook has done to inspire me to do all I can not only for them but this nation. It would be very easy to sit in my livingroom watching sitcoms and pretending it would be ok and let someone else deal with it. But if these men can do what they do how can I do anything less than have their backs here at home and work just as hard to make a difference!

the good news is hundreds of thousands of these guys are returning to civilian life- an Obama army is not conducive to hard chargers- and will be the next generation of leaders… take that, Ben Affleck…

The troops often educate me on the value of humility and how important it is to never take my Liberty for granted.

While most American institutions (religious, financial, educational, political, entertainment) are falling apart and have lost all purpose and meaning, the men and women serving in the military are rising above the fray.

No Amigo, you are thinking of the men who worked for Saddam Hussein. They are no longer in power thanks to men like Major Solheim. We are sorry if that fact disappoints you.
