Eric Foltz has traveled more than 4,100 miles and through 11 states to raise awareness for wounded soldiers.

He wants to spread the word that soldiers returning home have both physical and mental scars and need our help.

He left California on his bike back on September 11.

For the past few days he's been resting at the Hopes and Dreams Riding Facility in Quitman, Georgia.

He said he won't stop fighting for the soldiers who fight for us.

He said, "They can't just say I'm a little bit cold, I'm a little bit tired in the patrol they're on. You go until the mission's done and that's pretty much what I've done."

His mission is to mount his bike through all sorts of terrain while pushing a message.

He wants everyone to know that soldiers come back with more than physical wounds.

Mike Randall is the founder of the Hopes and Dreams riding facility that Eric has been resting at.

Randall said, "PTSD is something you can carry with you the rest of your life. You get these flashbacks night and day and you can't get away from them. There's no place to hide."

Through horse therapy Mike works to help heal some of the mental scars soldiers may carry home.

He's seen two of his sons return from war with Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome and is grateful for people like Eric.

He expects to be back in California by October of 2010.
