Motorcyclists ride for veterans

Posted:

Hundreds hopped on their Harleys Saturday to ride, rock, and remember veterans and soldiers killed in action since the September 11th Terrorist Attacks.

It was the annual Elkhart Freedom Ride and Bike Night Rally.

Along the 72 mile ride through Elkhart County riders were greeted by on lookers waving American flags.

They say they ride to give back to and thank veterans.

"I will support our troops 110 percent. They didn't necessarily choose to be in the war but we have to support them when they come back," says rider Melissa Frederick.

The event also recognized the 40th Anniversary of the last combat ground troops to leave South Vietnam in 1972.

It all benefits the Wounded Warrior Project.
