Wounded Army soldier Javier Ivan Rivera goes for a ride in a replica Cobra with car owner Ken Williams of Houston on December 13, 2008. Rivera served in the U.S. Army in Afghanistan when he was wounded in November of 2007. Rivera joined other soldiers as part of Operation Comfort's Automotivation program that offers an opportunity for soldiers to work on vehicles as part of their recovery and therapy from their injuries. On this particular day, club members from various Cobra replica associations in Texas drove their vehicles to South San Antonio to offer rides and give gifts of appreciation to the soldiers.
