Maverick Wratchford had plans of joining the U.S. Army, following in the footsteps of both his father and older brother. But this plans were derailed when Wratchford was in a utility terrain vehicle accident that severely injured his kidney and disqualified him from future military service.
That disappointment didn’t cause Wratchford’s love or respect for the military or veterans to wane. Now 12, his respect was on full display during May’s inaugural West Virginia Legacy Run.
As the dozens of American Legion Riders passed by his house, Wratchford stood at attention and rendered a hand salute until the entire contingent had passed him.
