The “Patriot Guard Riders Memorial Day Ride” ride is a one of two rides that will take place in honor of the 10th Anniversary of 9-11. Our goal is to raise awareness of the sacrifice our soldiers and members of the community make for our country and how we can help them. The second ride will take place on 9-10-11 with a ceremonial ride ending at the Patriot Day Celebration event site. Luke Air Force Base and Arizona Army National Guard are a integral part of our Patriot Day Celebration.

The Patriot Day Celebration commemorates those brave civilians and first responders that heroically sacrificed their lives for our freedom on 9-11. This event draws attention that we should “never forget” the service men and women and veterans that are and have been courageously putting their lives on the line for the United States of America. In addition, we recognize the families of service personnel who bravely stand by and support their dedication. Last year’s 2nd Annual Patriot Day Celebration proved to be very successful with more than 3,000 citizens gathering to celebrate our heroes, their families and to salute our fallen soldiers. Approximately 3,000 blankets were collected for refugees in war torn Afghanistan delivered by signature sponsor, American Airlines. We were very fortunate to have 55 Corporate Sponsors, 7 National, 10 regional and 35 local vendors. Crocs Shoes donated to 700 pairs of shoes to Airmens and Afghan families. In addition, we made history with the landing of a BlackHawk and Apache Longbow helicopter in a business district on a city street.
