Post 588 Legion Rider's update


As this rainy summer goes along I thought I'd update you on what Post 588 American Legion Riders have been up to so far this summer.

The picture above is from the Legion Rider's Memorial Day Prade participation in Easton's parade. Pictured from Left to Right are That CD Guy, Halfacre, Puddles, Jazzman, Armorer, Beekers, Pokey, Kye, and King. The Colonel was taking the picture. Armorer and Beekers just returned from Iraq in December 2008 where they served as Army Reserve Soldiers for 9 months.

Our Legion Riders have sent several packages to Soldiers in IRAQ. This included the Son of Lost Rider's Webmaster Kutz who will be returning from his tour in IRAQ. Legion Riders have visited the VA Hospice center in Wilkes Barre in early June where donations of goods were made to residents.

We had our Poker run which went on despite the rain on 20 June. Hokendaqua was the end point and the event was very successful thanks in great part to the cooperation and hosting by Hokendaqua, Gilbert, Lehighton and Walnutport American Legions. Our thanks to all the support.

We have several events pending for the remainder of the summer. I'll post that list shortly.
