Private First Class Ian Edge of Brinson Georgia received a hero's welcome home on Sunday afternoon. Ian was critically injured in Afghanistan on June 25th when he stepped on an IED (Improvised Explosive Device). He now walks with a prosthetic leg and is working to regain full use of one hand.
A tremendous welcome awaited PFC Edge as he drove in from Florida and greeted in Chattahoochee by over 100 people and law enforcement to escort him home. The Deep South Riders pulled together probably a hundred bikers that proudly led the way bringing him home.
Florida law enforcement led the group out of Florida on Highway 97 where Decatur County Sheriff's Deputies and Decatur County Fire took over. Georgia State Patrol took the lead as the procession neared Bainbridge and led him on to Brinson. Along the way, citizens waited by the road to salute him with signs and American flags waving.
