Hope I am posting this on the correct board. There seem to be a lot of veterans here on Spyderlovers. Don't know if anyone has heard of the Nation of Patriots event called "Passing the Flag". An American flag is making a trip through the lower 48 states by motorcycle transfer only. It is a fund raiser for wounded warriors. Most but not all of the stops are at Harley Davidson dealerships but I know that anyone is welcome. This is done by a group with the site http://nationofpatriots.org/. All monies raised at the local stops stays in the local area to be distributed to veterans who need it. No funds get sent to some central group, so you know where the money goes. Tomorrow (7/5/13), the flag comes in from Mississippi and will stay overnight in Baton Rouge. Saturday (7/6/13), we will have a big shindig to honor local veterans and then escort the flag to Lafayette, La then on up to Alexandria, La. From there it goes on to Arkansas and rest of the country. If anyone gets the chance, it is a good ride and a way to show local veterans how you really feel. Last year we raised just over $5,000.00 and distributed it to needy vets. in the local area. Just wanted to let people know about this ride and didn't see anything about it on the site. These people deserve all the support that we can give them.
