Freedom Ride ~ 30th Anniversary of the weekly vigil and 25th Anniversary of the Freedom Ride

"As an American asked to serve, I was prepared to fight, 
to be wounded,to be captured and even prepared to die, 
but I was not prepared to be abandoned."

Join us for the NORTHEAST POW/MIA NETWORK VIGIL AND FREEDOM RIDE on JUNE 14, 2018 ~ THURSDAY @ 7:00 PM. the "Ride to the Rock" HESKY PARK MEREDITH
Numbers and Voices are important! This issue belongs to EVERYONE!
This is the 25th Anniversary of the Freedom Ride and the 30th Anniversary of the weekly Vigil.
Guest Speaker: Deborah Crosby, whose father Lt. Cmdr. Frederick P. Crosby, shot down as a Navy pilot in the Vietnam War, it was June 1965. Deborah Crosby, was only six when she was sent home from the first grade to learn her father was presumed dead, though his body had not been found. Lt. Cmdr. Frederick P. Crosby’s remains were returned to his family last year.​
Anyone riding should plan on being at Lowe's, 1407 Lake Shore Road in Gilford. Plan on being there by *5:45pm ~ we will be leaving the parking lot by 6:00pm with a state trooper escort down route 3 to "The Rock" Hesky Park.
IF YOU ARE NOT A RIDER ~ Please join us ~ you can arrive by vehicle by way of Route 106 N. There is plenty of parking and your voice is important!
As has been stated for the many years. Faith, Trust, Truth, Responsibility and Accountability are still important.

Over the years people from the area, state and country have gathered in support of those POW's who have returned, their family, as well as those who did not and those MIA's and the abundance of evidence that shows were left behind. The theme, "When one American life is not worth the effort, we as Americans have lost" is still a fact and today with American soldiers, men and women, serving in harm's way, is even more important. We as American must stay vigilant on their behalf in support of their families.
Faith, Trust, Truth, Responsibility and Accountability…Facts outweigh Opinions..The Vigil Continues.
