Glad I saw this. My family is hosting boys from the Ripken World Series and getting delayed in arriving at the stadium would be a huge problem for us! Thanks, Patch!

So this is what I saw driving 95 South at the Delaware Memorial Bridge! I was wondering why 95 was shut down - but then I saw motorcycles! I thought maybe it was part of a funeral procession for a cop or something in DE

This is great, but why not at least have it in September? Like maybe the weekend just prior to 9/11?

The reason for doing it in August is to let the families and first responders have time to themselves in September. That is what I was told when I asked.

We were on our way to the D.C. Zoo and saw them coming up! The kids were like "WOW! That's awesome!" It was cool to see and brought back some memories. Thanks for the reminder that people do care! God Bless America! :)

Was on my way to Kent Island and pulled over when I saw the "columes". Saw the (/!! bike being pulled, but didn't make the connection. Did get up with my brother in N.C., but he wasn't aware of it...and he is both a Red Knight and a Blue Knight.

I saw it and was in AWE... totally inspiring! Thank you for doing such patriotic action for those who were our heros! I was super proud and waved while sitting on top of the Delaware Memorial Bridge going into Delaware as they were heading towards NJ. I didn't fuss at the traffic (which was horrible). I was at peace!! GOD BLESS AMERICA!
