As you know, American Veterans have selflessly protected and defended us throughout the years. Without them, we would not be able to enjoy the freedoms we have today. To honor our Veterans, we are proud to announce the second-annual Veterans Memorial Ride to be held on June 20th.
100% of the proceeds raised will go directly towards support of Veterans causes including the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse's Veterans Hall of Honor and a statewide Veterans scholarship fund. Veterans will be able to apply for a scholarship to use towards attending any school in the University of Wisconsin system.
The Veterans Memorial Ride is also part of an extraordinary fundraising effort to build a truly remarkable Hall of Honor, which is located on the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse campus.
The second annual event will attract thousands of motorcycle riders and Veterans from across the Midwest who will converge on La Crosse. The ride will include a number of events; culminating in a concert featuring LONESTAR. As you may know, LONESTAR donates time to Veterans causes each year including an "Adopt-a-Platoon" program during the holiday season.
Thousands of people each year will show their respect to our Veterans by visiting the Hall of Honor. You can be a part of this worthwhile event by contributing now and making plans to visit to the Hall of Honor when construction is complete in June of 2009.
Remember, thank, and honor our Veterans who served our country honorably in war and in peace today by joining others as a supporter and advocate of the Veterans Memorial Ride.
