On July 4th Operation Red, White and Bike awarded World-Class Personalized TREK Bicycles to four little heroes from Mission, Texas. In addition, each child was awarded a helmet, a bike lock, and a Red, White and Bike T-Shirt and Bracelet.
We also joined these little heroes and their parents in the July 4th "Salute to Everyday Heroes" parade in Mc Allen, the town next door to Mission. There were tens of thousands of people, from across the South Texas Valley that lined Main Street in McAllen for the 81st Annual Parade.
It was hot but we all enjoyed our trip to honor these special children: Davidlee, James, Hailey and Anthony, each a little hero. Their fathers David and Rolando were both awarded Purple Hearts for their service in Iraq.
Some of the little heroes required training wheels but all are up and riding a week after the parade and are having a blast on their new TREK Bicycles.
Board members who participated in the McAllen Parade paid their own hotel and travel expenses. We keep our expenses low so we maximize the number of bicycles we award to little heroes.
Thanks to all of you who made these awards possible. I wish you could have seen these children's faces when they got their bikes the morning of the parade and the joy they had in riding and in some cases pushing their bikes in the parade.
