Warrior ride. [applause] servicememberous and veteran organizations whose logos we all probably wear. This shows the support for the men and women of our nations military. This is one of the defining characteristics of team red, white, blue. [applause] the military and civilian men membership gives understanding for communities. See a resilient population, one that does not lead invisible nor visible womens illnesses or injuries to find them, but uses them as a way to remus strength and inspire.
