2ND ANNUAL TRIBUTE TO FALLEN SOLDIERS MEMORIAL TORCH MOTORCYCLE RIDE
JULY 24 - AUGUST 4, 2014

Ride Route Scheduled to Make an Appearance

Tribute to Fallen Soldiers Northwest is excited to announce a portion of the 2nd Annual Tribute to Fallen Soldiers Memorial Torch Motorcycle Ride is scheduled to make an appearance into the State of Montana beginning July 29th through July 31st 2014.

The Tribute to Fallen Soldiers Memorial Torch Motorcycle Ride is a 10 day - 2,000 mile tribute ride in which the riders will be escorting the 'Fallen Soldiers Memorial Torch' through Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and South Dakota to honor and pay tribute to our fallen soldiers along the route.

On Wednesday July 30th, the escorted ride procession will travel to Helena where the memorial torch will make visits to Fort Harrison, the VA Hospital, and then to East Helena's JFK Park for a community gathering and where it will stand vigil for the night.

On its final day in Montana, (Thursday July 31st) the festivities for the memorial torch will begin in East Helena, where the community will be welcome to give them a warm send-off. The memorial torch will then depart East Helena at approximately 9:15 am and make stops in Belgrade, Big Timber and Laurel Montana.

The 'Fallen Soldiers Memorial Torch' will end its 10 day journey on Sunday August 3rd at the Mount Rushmore National Park where a formal ceremony will be held to extinguish the memorial torch to commemorate all fallen soldiers.

For any interested riders who would like to participate in the ride procession, there's no ride fee to participate. Tribute to Fallen Soldiers Northwest would like to encourage anyone who rides to participate in this wonderful event and help support our fallen soldiers and veterans of all wars,...present and past.
