Davey's Battle Brother Ride

Serve Our Willing Warriors recently participated in Davey’s Battle Brothers Ride! They had a great turn out despite the wet weather that would have normally turned away so many. With 69 participants registered and ready to go, Serve Our Willing Warriors was the grateful recipient of the designated proceeds. The beloved Sonja Ruhren was the organizer of this event. Below is a picture of her and Davey’s Bike.

Following up to the event, Sonja shared a very heartfelt memorial about Davey and we would like to share below:

David’s greatest accomplishment in life was simply being David Alan Ruhren. A young man with a compassion for all living things and respect for all that came in his presence. A protector for all who couldn’t protect themselves and a friend you could always count on. His smile, sense of humor and gentleness could always make a bad day seem so much better. He admired and loved his grandparents with every ounce of his soul and held all members of his family dear to his heart. David Alan Ruhren is a young man who never had to debate right from wrong and would always give more than he ever took. This amazing young man will always be a blessing and a gift to the earth, but had more to offer and more things to do beyond than this planet could hold. His presence touched more souls than most will ever realize. He accomplished more in his short time than most adults ever will. His unconditional sense of self will forever be remembered, and his love forever missed. This is David Alan Ruhren.

This ride was in honor of this courageous soul who elected to protect our nation. We were so honored to be apart of this event. Together we are able to make a difference in the lives of the wounded warriors and their families all because of the selfless sacrifice of an amazing soldier.

May we always remember the sacrifice Davey made protecting our country and many more like him who together keep our nation safe. Davey was commemorated with the purple heart. 

Here are a couple photos we snagged from the event below:
