Day weekend full of many good times. The food and drinks, the DJ and raffles, tent sales and Harley-Davidson’s the spirit of the working man and woman is what the weekend was all about. Those that get that grind each and every day, had a day off to come out and celebrate the holiday with the wonderful staff at Fort Bragg Harley- Davidson. The crowd was there, and they did not have to worry about cooking or even making a beer run; the staff made sure all was covered, and guests were top of their list, as usual!
Their events then shifted to honor those victims of 9/11. The 9 11 Infidels MC presented its 10 th annual 9/11 Never Forget Run. Kick stands were up at 7 p.m. and they rode for those that were lost in the tragic 9/11 attacks. The Islamist terrorist group Al-Qaeda planned a series of four coordinated terrorists’ acts against the United States on that morning; Tuesday, September 11, 2001. On that horrific day, 2,977 people tragically died due to terrorists’ acts, another 25,000 were injured and $10billion in infrastructure and property damage was done. It was the deadliest attack on American soil claiming the lives of firefighters,
police, emergency personal and working citizens. We vowed to “Never Forget” and the annual 9/11 ride is one that reminds us all! The Infidels MC gave honor and respect for the victims and continue their efforts in solidarity to remind us all to
“Never Forget!”
In continued celebrations and remembrance, Rolling Thunder presented POW-MIA acknowledgment to honor our military soldiers. Rolling Thunder is a US advocacy group that works to bring full accountability for the prisoners of war (POW) and the missing in action (MIA) service members of all U.S. wars. Rolling Thunder has been active since its first demonstration in 1988. They ride for those that cannot, they ride for those that cannot remember. They ride for POW and MIA; these rides of honor advocate for our loved ones, heroes and friends. They ride for all of us!
This month of remembrance is good for us all. We must keep our best interest in mind and heart, to be prepared for all fronts! These celebrations and acts that celebrate our heroes, family and friends must continue for our greater cause and Fort Bragg Harley-Davidson is all about supporting the biker community, our military and country.
