SAN ANTONIO – Hundreds fought the cold as motorcycles revved, all in honor of our nation's wounded warriors and their families.
Saturday's Texas Honor Ride raised money for the Warrior Family Assistance Center at Fort Sam Houston.
There's a reason we call veterans like Jason March heroes.
"I am a veteran of 15 years. I served in Iraq and Afghanistan. I was shot in the head in Iraq in 2006. I have been at Brooke Army Medical Center for several years," March said.
After more than 80 facial surgeries, he has recovered and has been involved in the Texas Honor Ride for more than seven years. It may have been rainy and cold outside, but that didn't stop about 150 bikers from riding in from Austin and Houston.
"That soldier that's hurt, families come from all over the world to see their loved ones, have a chance to go into the warrior center, and feel warm and welcome, and have all kinds of activities to occupy their time," March said.
Supporters went through great lengths to support heroes like March.
"We're from here in San Antonio but we rode out to Buda in Austin to hook up with others at the staging area, just so we could ride back here to Fort Sam Houston," said Brian Martin.
Martin is an active duty airman who runs security at Fort Sam Houston and is thankful he can help give back.
"I don't think a lot of people realize that the family members are serving just like the individuals are," Martin said.
The support means the world to wounded warriors like March.
"It's just awesome," March said.
