Today we ride from Colorado Springs to Amarillo. I have never ridden on these roads before so they are new to me and I am doing my best to take it all in. One of the things that I enjoy the most about riding is that it gives you the ability to be in every moment. And that is exactly what I am trying to do. I look around me at the scenery and my fellow riders. We have really started to sync as a group and learned how to ride together with a natural rhythm that is almost poetic at times. Although we just met a few days ago, we are becoming family. We have have shared everything together. Not just the family visits and the overwhelming emotions that over take us there. But the road and everything that it brings us. We have definitely started to build a bond that will last a lifetime. #SayTheirNames #NeverForget #NeverForgotten #flagsofhonorescorts #rollcallflag #america #armedforces #fallen #fallenheroes #freedom #heroes #honor #military #merica #respect #salutethefallen #soldier #soldiers #supportourtroops #tactical #usa #usmilitary #army #usveterans #usmilitary #navy #airforce #mission_22 #22aday #veterans projectrollcall.com https://www.instagram.com/p/CGky8jxnBOe/?igshid=e2rf7zhwwug

Navy PO2 GM2 John “Guns” W. Carroll Navy PO2 GM2 John “Guns” W. Carroll Died April1, 2013 Shared by his mother, Jody: “He was my hero from the moment he was born...Johnny did not have any easy life at all, but he always persevered and came out stronger from every hardship. Johnny was 85% deaf and suffered from Meniere’s Disease. Out of his 6 years in the Navy he spent 4 1/2 in the war zones. I know that he would say that he didn't do anything special but I have heard from so many people –whether they were serving on the USS Boxer or were members of the SEAL teams he served with –that he always had a smile for everybody and wanted no one to feel left out or lonely. He was a GM2 (Gunner’s Mate/Petty Officer 2nd Class) in the Navy and loved his job more than anything.” John was a daredevil; he loved taking risks and he would try anything, from skydiving to bungee jumping. He had no fear. I remember he sent me a photo of him riding his motorcycle and he was in an angled turn with his knee was just inches from the pavement. He said "Aww, mom don’t worry.” I said, “Really John, don’t worry? Yeah, right.” He was always a source for good advice. John chose to serve, and his sense of duty led him to the military, following in the footsteps of his grandfather. He initially wanted to join the Air Force, but later decided on joining the Navy. My father was in the Navy, so John would say, “If the Navy is good enough for my Grandfather, it is good enough for me.” May we never forget the service and the Sacrifice of Navy PO2 GM2 John “Guns” W.

As we pull into American Legion Post #209 in Colorado Springs for the night. I have not only reflected on today's events but the events of the entire journey so far. We are only 6 days into the 22-day ride to Arlington and I can already feel the importance of this mission. I have never done anything like this before and I am absolutely both blown away and impressed by the Families that we are meeting with, my fellow riders and the hosts that so graciously up us up every night. Being surrounded by so many true Patriots and likeminded Americans has rekindled my faith in this country and everything that it represents. #SayTheirNames #NeverForget #NeverForgotten #america #armedforces #fallen #fallenheroes #freedom #heroes #honor #military #merica #respect #sacrifice #salutethefallen #soldier #soldiers #supportourtroops #tactical #usa #usmilitary #warriors #army #usveterans #usmilitary #navy #airforce #mission_22 #22aday #veterans Epicbackroads.com https://www.instagram.com/p/CGSxVJfHTdQ/?igshid=1eqjcn794bxqf

The riding is definitely the easiest part of this mission. In fact, it is one of the things that makes this project doable. The family meetings are hard. They are all very unique and very personal to each family. As we sit and listen to these families, we share in their pain. You can feel their love and loss as they share stories about their loved ones. The emotions come in waves. You can literally be laughing at their lightheartedness one second and then crying over their loss the next. So, when we get back on our bikes and leave these visits. The riding becomes our therapy. It gives us time to reflect. Sometimes as we ride we process the events that we all just shared. Sometimes we just ride, listen to some music or just simply get lost in the rhythm of our pipes as we muscle on down the road to the next family where we proudly do it all again! #SayTheirNames #NeverForget #NeverForgotten #america #armedforces #fallen #fallenheroes #freedom #heroes #honor #military #merica #respect #sacrifice #salutethefallen #soldier #soldiers #supportourtroops #tactical #usa #usmilitary #warriors #army #usveterans #usmilitary #navy #airforce #mission_22 #22aday #veterans epicbackroads.com https://www.instagram.com/p/CGF5cnGHQ-M/?igshid=dgvcpvkrwl4m
