NO POLITICS – JUST PATRIOTISM RIDE

  • The American Veteran Foundation 624 Matthews-Mint Hill Road - Suite 117 Matthews, NC 28105 United States (map)

THE MISSION:

“Fall in”…. our 67 mile ride around Charlotte has two purposes; first being to honor our Veterans at Memorial Day. The second is to show a huge display of public support to our Veterans out there living with Post Traumatic Stress. Motorcycles, Mini Vans, Jeeps, Monster Trucks &  Luxury Cars are all encouraged to roll with us around the I-485 loop!

We’ll ride together (with police escort) to show our love for America! Bring the family; bring the dog. Dress like Uncle Sam, bring your posters & banners too. Let’s fly our flags down the highway to show our Veterans that we support the job they have been doing for the USA. No Politics – Just Patriotism !
