indoors and always ask for help at any time. Also please do
not forget your sun screen.

silent, and with honor and respect for this patriot and
their family.
- We will park along the main street close to the designated
shelter with 2 bikes side by side as close to the curb and
each other as possible so that traffic can get by.
