With fallen American military men and women in mind, local Riders have been revving and going for the past five years. Saturday's ride continued the tradition of their "Ride to Remember: Never Forget."
"We made a promise that we would never forget," Senior Ride Captain Rick Williams told the crowd of about 50 riders before event, "and this is just a continuation and fulfillment of our promise."
Saturday was the first day of the two-day annual ride. American flags fluttered from the motorcycles or accompanying cars, as the riders trekked to cemeteries from Evansville to Poseyville to honor eight soldiers.
