Sept 11: Remembrance Ride

(Back Row - L to R) Ray Sielski, Ken DeFurio, John McLaughlin, Skip Rogers, Ed Johnson, Jason Maust, (Front Row, L to R) Randy McCracken, me and Curt Morrison went for a ride on Friday, September 11th... and like all good rides, it started at Cummings Coffee Shop! Our goal this day was to Remember the attacks of Sept.11, pay our respects to those who lost their lives that day, and to proudly fly the colors of the Unites States.
Beginning with a wreath and flag (lowering) ceremony at Diamond Park, across from the Butler Court House...
...we were then escorted by the Pennsylvania State Police...
... which took us past a Military Fuel Depot...
...the whole way to MARS...................... Pa!).
... finishing the final miles on Rt 228 into the Cranberry Twp area.
Once there, we pulled out the folded flag we received and carried with us from the Butler Ceremony...
...and handed it over for an official flag (raising) ceremony at The Ciba Restaurant in 7 Fields.
Afterwards, we rode back to Butler, with a little less formality and a LOT more speed : )
Remember... " NEVER FORGET "
