What a great turnout for this event!!!
Thank you to all that took the time to have a Final Ride with this Hero. There was over 100 bikes!!!!
A special thank you to the American Legion Riders Post 352 Somers Point, NJ for not just showing up on short notice, but for the escort help and the impressive Flag Line that others cannot match.
Thank you to the Pagan Motorcycle Club for assisting with the escort. Your presence was appreciated and we thank you for honoring our Nation’s Hero & your riding brother.
Unfortunately, we do not know what local police departments were involved along with the State Police to set up some of the road blocks. But, we thank them for assisting with the escort as well.
