- 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.
- Riders NOT UTILIZING HANDICAPPED
PARKING are requested to park as far forward as possible at
the Visitor's Center to keep the closest spaces available
for other guests.
- Let's always remember to keep the
motorcycle and voice noise to a minimum when arriving and
leaving the shelters.
