- Iron horses if you can,
cages are always welcome and appreciated.
- Safety First: With warmer weather, please remember to
properly hydrate (including the night before) before any
outdoor activity and to dress appropriately. Do not hesitate
to take a break at any time if you feel you need to get in
the shade or get indoors and always ask for help at any
time. Also please do not forget your sun screen.
- Please remember that our mission is to stand tall and
silent, and with honor and respect for this patriot and
their family.
- Please remember that our parking area is now on the
main road between shelters A and B. Funerals are being
staged at the Administration building and in the area by the
lake. We will park facing up the hill toward shelter A with
2 bikes side by side as close to the curb and each other as
possible so that traffic can get by. This arrangement keeps
the motorcycle and voice noise to a minimum around the
shelters during the services and appears to meet the needs
of the cemetery. We will assemble in this area and not
around the shelters until it is time to move to the shelter
to set up for the service. Exceptions to this parking
arrangement are, as always, made for those who have
difficulty walking.
