After an enemy bullet left Staff Sergeant Matt Keil paralyzed, an army of volunteers found a way to repay his sacrifice.

The Patriot Guard Riders provide motorcycle escorts at military funerals across America. This morning, however, two dozen bikers, mostly Vietnam veterans, assist at a different kind of ritual. A few miles south of Denver, they lead a line of cars up a dirt driveway toward a sprawling ranch house. In the newly landscaped yard, rows of folding chairs are filling with spectators, including many of the 400 volunteers who built the 2,500-square-foot home.
