War On Terror News: Blue Star Riders

"The Blue Star Riders (BSR) have members in California and Utah. Moms and Dads who have chosen to band together in support of our wounded servicemembers. These same parents have one other thing in common; they have a deployed son overseas, or one who has recently returned home.
The purpose of this group is to offer support by physically going to VA hospitals and visiting the wounded and to also bring them donated items for their use. These visits mainly occur on weekends, but that is not to say they won’t spend time during the week to stop by for a visit."
