Blue Star Riders Observe Memorial Day in Utah:
We bow our heads in silent grace; Proud to stand upon this Place.   To honor those who we love and lost; whose lives were taken at such a cost.   Through the pain and sorrow, for all the brave and true; To always be remembered by me and by you.   
To heal the minds and hearts, of those who still live; Always remembering what they had to give.    Live your lives with pride in hearing what I say; May God bless and keep you on this, and every day.    (by Mark A. Wright)

Blue Star Riders Gordy and Terra Ewell were interviewed by ABC, Channel 4 News. They were able to talk about the Blue Star Riders, Their Mission, and what an important role they play in the healing of our wounded warriors.  They were also able to talk about other issues that are of concern to our veterans, such as Veterans Nursing Homes, Fisher Houses, and how a small investment of just a little volunteer time can make all the difference in the world to a recovering soldier.
