EDWARD JAY RYKOSKEY POST #1
CARLISLE VIETNAM VETERANS

All Gave Some, Some Gave All
you are NOT fogotten
Welcome home, my brother

From one veteran to another, it's an honor to be in your company.

It's the Soldier, not the reporter 
Who has given us the freedom of the press. 

It's the Soldier, not the poet, 
Who has given us the freedom of speech.

It's the Soldier, not the politicians 
That ensures our right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. 

It's the Soldier who salutes the flag, 
Who serves beneath the flag, 
And whose coffin is draped by the flag.

Wounded Warrior Patrol is a group dedicated to aiding our Middle East veterans and their families through the use of winter sports and to helping with family growth

Presents the opportunity for the Warriors to have fun, be with their peers, be honored and be physically challenged is a magic formula for some of our wounded. Adapting bicycles to injuries, (i.e. no legs, pedal with your arms, or blind ride tandem) is challenging, but it works.
