I received an email last night from Debbie Argel Bastian, mother of fallen hero-Capt. Derek Argel, USAF. Deb is asking for all of our help for a very worthy cause.

Deb writes;

Dear Joe,

The Special Operations Warrior Foundation was founded over 27 years ago, after the Iran Hostage Crisis. Eighteen children of Spec Ops Warriors were left behind. The Foundation was developed to give these children the college education their fathers would have given them. The Special Operations Warrior Foundation is still working to offer a college education to the children of all Spec Ops Warriors.

My husband and I will be working hard to raise funds over the next year for this cause. Our grandson will have the opportunity for a fully funded education through the foundation. In addition, they provide emergency assistance to the families of wounded Warriors from each branch of the service.

The first time I rode a motorcycle any distance, was to the Harley 100th Anniversary. Everyone said I was crazy to make the trip with no experience. My son Derek, was the exception. He told me to go for it, as I would really be missing out on life if I feared what might happen. He was right! It was a wonderful trip.

Todd and I will take to the road again next year for the Harley 105th Anniversary, in honor of Derek. Our goal is $105,000 for the Warrior Foundation. We have started our efforts now. Would you help us by posting our page?

Thank you,

Deb
