It is literally put on by some core leaders. volunteers and many others that believe in those that served during the Viet Nam Era and want to do something to honor them and their families. Thank You for Participating! The route will be basically M43 into Hastings, Michigan starting off with a loop around the Michigan State Capitol Building. Then to M43 under FULL LAW ENFORCEMENT ESCORT to the LZ with a slight detour (in planning stage) into Grand Ledge to pay tribute to those at the Grand Ledge Armoury. There many details to attend to at this point but the frame work is coming along very nicely. Next Years Vietnam Legacy Ride and Event is promising to be a very special one with activities planned at Hastings Airport to commemorate the 35th Anniversary of those over there-being told to "Come Home".

To All Free Americans I walked through the mud for you and had 18 years of nightmares for it. Please enjoy your freedom for which I have so dearly paid. If you ever have the occasion to walk through the mud, you will find someone there. I hope you like him because you will be spending the rest of your life with him. Richard D. Hamady, US 54965196
