Staff Sgt. Matthew Dewitt and 19 other veterans joined former President George W. Bush in Crawford, Texas, on Memorial Day for the third annual Wounded Warrior 100K mountain-bike ride.

"We have two goals. One is to continually remind the country about the country about the importance of supporting vets," Bush said at the ride. "You can help a veteran find a job; you can help a veteran who is homeless; you can feed a veteran; you can love a veteran. Second: we are going to analyze what works and what doesn't work among the organizations helping veterans. Our first focus is on helping vets find jobs.”
