WE ARE DOING IT AGAIN.
We have been asked many times
since last years ride if we are going to be doing the ride
again...YES WE ARE.
On Saturday,
June 1, 2013
(June 2 Rain date) The Ohio Veterans' Memorial Park will be
hosting the...
"3095
Plus Freedom Ride"
In keeping with
the tradition of the first "Ride For The 3095" we will be having
custom flags made in honor of our Heroes. The difference this
year is that a flag can be sponsored for all of our veterans,
regardless of the war they served in, including peace-time. You
can sponsor and ride for anyone who has served our nation and
took the oath to defend our freedoms.
The ride will
begin in Richfield, Ohio and end at The Ohio Veterans' Memorial
Park where services and a concert will be held.

United States.
The polished black granite wall is

lives in combat in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War.
The back of the wall is engraved
with the histories of every war that Ohio has been involved,
beginning with the War Of 1812.
