We've jumped into the breach to try and carry this event to as many National Cemeteries as possible where no other local organizations had the manpower to do so. We pray Americans across this great land will make this a day to remember. To me, personally, this mission means this: Honor, Respect, Tribute to America's fallen and all those who ever stood up or are now standing on the front lines to defend Her. We ride to Stand for Those Who have Stood For US. I also look forward to educating our youth to the terrible yet precious cost of Freedom. This is our legacy to them. Carry our torch proudly. Defend your birthright fiercely. Share it lovingly with those in need of liberty. And <strong>NEVER, EVER FORGET</strong>! Capt.
