- Iron horses if you can, cages are always welcome and

- Safety First: 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. NO TALKING, SMOKING, CHEWING OF TOBACCO
PRODUCTS, OR CELL PHONE USE IN THE FLAG LINE!
- 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.
-
Cemeteries are hallowed ground. Please keep radios off and
engine noise to a minimum. Observe the 15 MPH speed limit.
Show our respect to ALL who are there, not just the one we
are honoring.
