Jereme Sawyer, Retired

USA , WAARNG – WoT
Olympia, Washington – 07-20-19

ABOUT THE MISSION:

Ladies and Gentleman of the Patriot Guard Riders,

We have been invited by Homes for our Troops to assist in honoring U.S. Army Sergeant Jereme Sawyer.

The Sergeant always wanted to serve in the military, so he joined the Washington National Guard at 17 years old. After his National Guard duty, he joined the Army as a motor transport Operator. On his second tour in Afghanistan, he was injured by an improvised explosive device. The Sergeant’s platoon acted quickly, providing immediate medical attention and he was medically evacuated. After time in Germany and Delaware, he was sent to San Antonio, Texas where he underwent many surgeries. As happens with most of our heroes, he endured and adapted to his circumstance. The Sergeant adapted his lifestyle and continues to thrive.

Now, medically retired, Sergeant Sawyer rents a home that is not accessible. Not having a home that is specially adapted to Jereme has been a challenge. Homes for our Troops is fixing that problem. The ceremony today is the Keying Ceremony where the Sergeant will get the keys to his new home. This will give Sergeant Sawyer a hand up and eliminate many of the obstacles he faces daily, and allowing him the financial freedom to plan for his future. He hopes to attend welding school. Jereme, we want to thank you for your service to and sacrifice for our great country. Patriots, such as you are an inspiration to us all. Sergeant, we applaud you. Please join us in honoring another of our Nations Heroes.
