After that day, bikers became Tommy’s protectors. Some mornings, just Bear and Cricket showed up. Other days, the whole crew. Tommy stopped being afraid.
Word spread. Veterans, widows, and grieving parents joined. The town changed. “Tommy’s Crew” became heroes — mentors, friends, family.
At a townwide ride for fallen bikers, Tommy rode in front, flag waving with his dad’s name. Bear handed me Jim’s old notebook:
“If I can’t be there, let my brothers help my boy live a full life.”
From a broken heart came a community. A boy once terrified now rides through life feeling safe and loved.
