This bike represents more than a machine. It's
a tool for healing as Josh readjusts to life a er
deployment. It's me with his kids. It's laps on
the track and a quiet mind. It's therapy without
walls.
Opera on Deserving Warrior proves something
powerful: when a community rallies around one
of its own, healing accelerates. Gra tude takes
shape. And some mes, the trail forward begins
with a simple twist of the thro le.
