From the ride brochure: “As American Legion riders, we travel as a Legion family and have become well known for our charitable work for children’s hospitals, schools, veterans’ homes, severely wounded service members, and scholarships. We are proud to have recently added to our list of focused efforts the ongoing preservation and upkeep of the beautiful Lorain County Vietnam Veterans Memorial honoring 98 Lorain County heroes who gave the ultimate sacrifice for freedom.”
