Okay boys and girls, it's time to Ride!

It's 12 noon, we had our fly over and lets rock and roll!

Rolling Thunder led the way. We had our "Missing Man" formation up front. I had 50 bikes ahead of me and 160+ behind me with the semi trucks bringing up the rear.

Thank to the Carolina Girl for a great job on the GoPro.

 

Leaving Tilley's HD Statesville, NC. We ran some back streets to Hwy 21. Rode up Hwy 21 to Elkin, NC to the park.

A big welcome in Elkin, NC as we rolled through town.

 

Arriving at the Park

What an awesome ride!

 

Waiting for the ceremony to start at 2pm. Note that the monument is covered at this time.











The monument is covered at this time.

 

 

The special moment we had all been waiting for. The unveiling of the monument. They invited the Gold Star familes up to see it first and to place a yellow rose in honor of their fallen family member.

A lot of folks are not aware that Elkin has some awesome restaurants. A large group from our RT chapter were going to eat at Cracker Barrel. We wanted to take advantage of eating at one of the places we have not tried. We stopped downtown at Southern on Main and WOW it was delicious! We will be back. We would hear the band rocking down the street at Angry Troll Brewing.
