A Lompoc Woman is ready to leave on a six thousand mile ride to honor the memory of her military son. Special Ops Captain Derek Argel, died in a military plane crash in Iraq, more than three years ago. His parents will begin a month-long trek that will take them through eight states. It's a journey to raise money for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation, a unit providing college funds for children of slain Special Ops soldiers.
