The last Warrior Expeditions rider, Jared Thomas, finished his trip last week and was met in La Push by members of Forks American Legion Post 106. A fellow veteran also met him, showed him around a bit, and made him an official Twilighter by giving him a Twilight shirt! Jared can now go home and reminisce about this 3,800-mile accomplishment. He’s a teacher and will have plenty to tell his students. Thomas overcame a lot of mechanical problems that put him behind by three weeks but he made it. This summer the Forks Post helped greet 5 riders when they arrived in La Push. Participating Veterans ride from Washington D.C. to Washington State. Submitted Photo
