We Ride So They Fly – Road Guards Needed

by Nicholas | Jun 9, 2021 | Volunteer

Greetings,

As I’m sure your all well aware, or hopefully are well aware, the NH Patriot Guard Riders has teamed up with some great folks to once again bring you this years We Ride So They Fly, a motorcycle ride to benefit Honor Flight New England.

The ride will take place on Saturday, June 26th. The ride starts at Manchester Harley Davidson, registration at 9am and KSU at 11am. The ride itself is 1.5 hours long via backroads and ends at the Deerhead Sportsmans Club in Hooksett NH.

The ride will be police escorted with some LEO assistance along the way. However in order to ensure a safe ride for all participants, additional volunteers will be needed to help road guard where LEO’s cannot assist.

If you are able and willing to assist with road guarding please send me via email, to nmarks@nhpatriotguard.org, your name, email address and cell phone #.

Ideally I would like to only have to use the road guards once so that after they’ve done their duties they can join the remainder of the ride, but that will be dependent on how many volunteers we get.

If you are interested please email me. Should you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

Respectfully,
Nick Marks
State Captain
NH Patriot Guard Riders

You do not have to be a Veteran or a member of the PGR to attend missions. All individuals are welcome. We encourage all who wish to attend and participate to do so. Unless otherwise stated all of our missions are open to anyone whether they ride or not. If this will be your first mission please go to the staging location as indicated and you will be briefed by the FLC (Flag Line Captain) or RC (Ride Captain). Please remember to dress for the weather and the event in which you will be attending. Dress comfortably but respectfully.
