    World Trade Center Beam Escort

    10/21/2015

    This is a heads up on an escort of a World Trade Center

    beam along Patriot Guard Riders Region 5 area of Rt. 80 this Wednesday, 21 Oct 2015.

     Beam is destined for Colorado and scheduled to leave JFK Airport 

    sometime Wednesday.

     

    Preliminary outline is to estimate a time thru each region for a hand off at an I-80 rest area

    (although anyone can go as far as they want) and establish a flag line in State College.

    Due to the uncertainty of the times involved, we will have to rally early. We are asking for everyone to be at Delware Water Gap Welcome Center by 12:30PM. We will be doing highway speeds, so large flagged bikes are not recomended. 

     

    The beam is going to Poudre Fire Authority,Ft Collins, Colorado who spent several weeks

    at the World Trade Center shortly after the 9/11/2001 terrorist attacks, helping to locate victims.

     

    This escort to Colorado is to include over 100 Emergency Service Authorities, VFW's, AL's, 

    local veterans in every state involved and the Patriot Guard for flag line/procession/escort

    responsibilities.

     

    This will surely be an honor to be apart of the movement

    of this sacred piece.

    Ride Captain in charge at Delaware Water Gap

    Sounds like a great escort to participate in. Wish I was somewhere along the route... or even close for that matter!

    I'm only about 4 hours from the junction of I-80 and I-25. Keep us updated on the progress. Especially since we will be expecting snow soon.
