The staging place for these in the past has been at 'Hoops Park' About two blocks West of Airport Rd. On the South side of 6th Ave. The best way to get there is take I-225 to the 6th Ave. exit and go East. It will be on your right just before Airport Rd. I will be there at 3:00 P.M. unless someone wants to meet elsewhere. I'll put the flags on my bike and park on the corner at Hoops Park.
Thanks and
Have a nice day

A veteran - whether Active Duty, Retired, National Guard or Reserve is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life."
That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.

Thanks to Ray for the save. We'll stage exactly where he notes. My only suggestion is that we stage at 2:30 if possible and leave at 2:45 for the gate. Watch for a final time from Ray. We have several additional last minute names I'm registering right now. Great that you can make it, but we may be a little longer getting in? I'll rely on Ray's decision as to whether we're going to need to be at the gate earlier in order to get everyone though in a timely manner. Sorry to cause the confusion.

Along with Steve's suggestion, I think maybe we should plan on meeting at 2:30, and leave for Buckley around 3:00. If the Guards at the gate have it together, it should only take about 10 to 15 minutes to get checked in.
Thanks and
Have a nice day
