I received this invitation for a Homecoming Ceremony at the Graham County Fairgrounds on 16 Aug 08 at 1800 hours (6:00 P.M.) to honor and welcome home several branches of service to include Marines, Airmen, and National Guard.  We will be participating in the ceremonies.

No escort will be needed for this mission.

STAGING: At the Fairgrounds Grandstand at 1700 hours (5 P.M.). The fairgrounds are on Highway 191 just south of Safford.

 

They want us to set up the bikes and flags around the arena as a show of support.

 

David Varley will be the Ride Captain for this.

The sponsors would prefer that riders wear a white colored shirt. Not required but preferred.
