Comments:

- 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.

With the possibility of T-storms in the forecast for Monday
please remember that bringing the cage is the best option.
Rider Safety is always our primary concern.
