The Biggest Motorcycle Rally in Texas kicks off tomorrow morning with the Biker Breakfast at Cabela’s in Buda, TX.
After the breakfast, individual riders, motorcycle clubs, and groups (including the Central Texas Patriot Guard Riders) will escort the Dignity Vietnam Memorial Wall through downtown Austin for a 30-mile to Pflugerville.
We’ll have a police escort, which will shut down IH-35 for this escort mission (get to work early so you don’t get caught in the traffic snarl).
The Dignity Memorial® Vietnam Wallâ„¢ is a traveling, three-quarter-scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. Dignity Memorial® funeral, cremation and cemetery providers created this powerful memorial as a service to those who may never visit the nation’s capital to see “The Wall” firsthand. The exhibit crisscrosses the country each year, allowing millions of visitors to see and touch the black, mirror-like surface inscribed with the names of more than 58,000 Americans who died or are missing in Vietnam. Honoring all U.S. veterans and dedicated to Vietnam veterans, the faux-granite replica is 240 feet long and eight feet high. Admission is free
On Friday Night, the Wall will lead the Parade of Bikes into downtown Austin — I’ll be part of the Flag Bikes honor escort during the parade.
