You do not have to be a Veteran or a motorcycle rider to attend this mission. Everyone is welcome. We encourage those who do not ride to attend in your car. If this will be your first mission go to the initial staging area and you will be briefed there by the R/C (Ride Captain). Dress for motorcycle riding or dress casually if you are driving a cage (car). Please feel free to attend any portion of this mission you can. Please ride/drive safely.
Remember that our mission is to stand tall and silent with honor and respect for our Heroes. No talking, smoking or cell phone usage during the flag line or service. Please keep radios off and engine noise to a minimum. Observe the 15 MPH speed limit. Mostly, remember that cemeteries are hallowed ground. Show respect to all who are there, not just the Hero we are honoring.
