Illinois State Passes House Resolution for One of Our RallyPoint Members

RP Members, Connections, and Friends. As you know my Motorcycle Ride across the United States to the East Coast was inspired by PO3 Tracy Sefcik who cycled 3,142 miles that officially started on March 1, 2018.

Tracey went to Springfield, IL on May 31st and was introduced to the Senate floor and the House floor for an offical House Resolution. (See Link here and check out the pictures in the body of this post).

In the photo Tracy and the other two, the female is her Senator Morrison, and male is the one that started the process House Rep Jonathan Carrol.

Tracy got a surprise, when her and her son went to Lincoln's tomb and they had a War Memorial and of coarse me being a Navy Vet and come from a very long line of military... I had to go.... well on the Korean War one she found her Uncle Adam Tymowicz (MIA - AF- 11/7/1950 - Naha, Japan)...I was born on the same day his plane crashed, he was on what they called the "death plane" F-82 and yes it was his death, he was shot down in WWII in France and the French Resistance got him back to American Territory only to be MIA in Korea. This meant more to Tracy than the House Resolution she'd just received.

Below are a few more photos and Tracy is still trying to double her goal... She is currently at $28,863. Her goal was $25k.

Thank you my friend COL Mikel J. Burroughs for sharing that your inspiration which motivated your RIP4 Vets medical debt ride was PO3 Tracy Sefcik's 3,142 bicycle mile ride that officially started on March 1, 2018 and that she was went to Springfield, IL on May 31st and was introduced to the Illinois Senate floor and the House floor for an official House Resolution.
Hopefully both your goal for RIP 4 Vets and Tracy's goal will be exceeded in terms of funding.
