Veteran's Day Parade - November 7, 2009 - Milwaukee, WI
Almost every District, of the Legion Riders, was represented in this year's parade. Thanks to our State ALRA of WI and Department of Wisconsin Chaplains, the Riders had great weather which allowed so many members the opportunity to participate and the community to enjoy watching the parade. The riders were joined by the Blue and Gold Star families along with other guests.
As you will see by the pictures below, the morning started out cool but quickly warmed as the leathers were put into the saddle bags. Everyone had a memorable day.

District 4/5 gave a power point presentation they utilize when going to area posts recruiting for membership and to inform the Legionnaire's what we're all about. The presentation puts a positive spin on their impression of who we are and what we do versus just being bikers riders.
