Ride & Rally For the Troops

Jul- 1-2004 » Filed Under: Homefront

Dawn asked if we could post some information about an upcoming motorcycle rally sponsored by Destination Harley to support the troops and their families here at home. Provided below is the email she sent to us, followed by information from the event's official flyer. I don't think I would be able to keep up on my bicycle, but if any of you participate let us know how it goes.

UPDATE 7/1: BG Carter Ham might speak to the rally from Iraq and has sent DVDs of the troops that will be played on the tv monitors at Destination Harley. Even if you don't ride you can be part of the "Foot Brigade" that will gather at Overpass 122 at 10 AM. Additionally, there will be a party at Destination Harley from 2 PM to 5 PM with full BBQ lunch, live music, Color Guard, banner signing, a beer garden, and raffles. All active duty military and family of active duty military can eat for free.

UPDATE: The rally now has its own website.

I am a Stryker Wife and am trying to help get the word out about a motorcycle ride to support our troops on Sunday, July 11.

Destination Harley Davidson in Fife is the starting point for the ride and the
intent is to take I-5 to the Madigan exit (#122) overpass, then head back to
Fife for a celebration with food, music, and raffles.

It would be great to see the goal of at least 1,000 bikes participating and let
all of our soldiers know just how much we support them and just how thankful
that we are for them and the job that they do.

There is a $5 fee to ride and the monies collected from the ride and the day's
festivities will go to the families that our soldiers left behind.

Any questions, please contact either Fife Destination or Silverdale Destination.

Thanks - Dawn
