When you think of the sacrifices that these men and women have given in the war on terror it saddens me to think they don't have the basic items like socks, t-shirts, underwear etc. These are the things they need to be donated to them.  This is a disgrace...the government may not be there entirely for them but you and I can be.  Please join me Saturday afternoon even if you don't ride.  Please donate the items on the list at J&W Cycles in Washington, MO.  by tomorrow at 2:30pm.  Each year we've rode over to Jefferson Barracks these veterans roll out in wheelchairs, on gurneys and welcome us.  They enjoy the fact that we get together just to stop by and say "thank you"

I'm so proud to invite you to the 4^th Annual VA Ride!

We will be collecting winter clothing and donations for the

St. Louis VA Medical Center Jefferson Barracks Division.

Join me for the party from 12:30 to 2:30pm then the ride leaves from J&W at 2:30PM and continues on a scenic route to the VA Medical Center to drop off the donations and visit with the veterans.

 We have the VFW auxiliary out of IL going to do hot dogs, chips, soda and cookies. 

Visit jwcycles.com for a list of needed items and to RSVP.
