7th
Annual Ride & Concert
Friday, September 10 - Sunday, September 12, 2010
This year marks the seventh year of the Tribute
To The Troops Annual Ride in Minnesota! For those
of you that have participated in the past, you
know first hand what an incredible experience it
is to visit the families of our fallen heroes to
show them that their loss has not been forgotten
and to thank them for the sacrifice their family
has made on our behalf. It is especially gratifying
to see how much these families appreciate our support
and knowing that the loss they have suffered will
be remembered by many. If you have never participated
in this Ride in the past, take this opportunity
do so and show these families your support ! We
hope you will join us! These special visits are
experiences you will remember for many years.
