Day One



The Honor Run took off yesterday for the Vietnam Memorial with approximately 75 bikers. It was a very moving morning and we were joined by representatives of the Fisher Foundation. Two riders came all the way from New Zealand to join the Honor Run. Mr. John Coleman retired Warrant Officer Royal New Zealand Army flew into Los Angeles and rode with us from CA to DC and is making the journey back to CA. The Honorable Rick Barker, Active Member of the New Zealand Parliament and former Head of Veterans Affairs joined us in DC and is riding all the way. We were also joined in DC by Mr. James Gregory (Biker Gunny) who founded RFTW and has pledged to throw his support to the Honor Run for the years to come.

Last night the town of Cambridge Ohio we rode into Cambridge 150 strong and under the leadership of Charlene Downing our State Coordinator we raised in excess of 5,000.00.

Today it is off to Indy for a really incredible opportunity to spread the word of that Honor Run at the Indy Mile.
