John, his wife Vicky and his life coach James were kind enough to spend time with me at the WWP Fayetteville, NC office. After 23 years of service, John suffered a brain injury which started severe PTSD. After the first 1 1/2 years of staying in his house, John saw an ad for WWP and ask Vicky to call. That was a life altering encounter. WWP was able to help John change his life. It was a honor to meet John and his wife Vicky. I will remember our visit for the rest of my life. John has come a long way to get where he is today, but he is a great example of courage and persistence. John was kind enough to make me a few gifts and one of them is a wooden coin. The coin is made from a baseball bat from OR (my destination) and the star from a retired American flag. You will hear more about my interview with John later.
I also want to thank James, at such a young age his is making a difference in John's life. And also thank him for his hospitality as he rode beside me until my departure from Fayetteville. A motorcyclist's hospitality.
That all for now, I've got to ride! If all goes well I will ride through the Smoky Mountains today....
