Patriotic Motorcycle Parade Parades at
Falcons Landing Chapter
COL Bob Manning, USA (Ret)
On Saturday, July 10 at 11 am, an estimated 85 motorcycles rode through the front gate at Falcons Landing (see bottom right picture). This Patriotic Motorcycle Parade was conducted by the American Legion Post 150 as part of their 10th Annual Poker Run which supports “Veterans in Need” in the local area.
Residents at Falcons Landing positioned themselves along the streets of the campus, waving American flags, and cheering the motorcyclist as they rode by. As a special treat, the SCOOPS ice cream truck followed the parade distributing novelty ice cream bars to residents.
