Never Forget 9/11/01
Driving "THE RIDE" for 911 - Written solely by the drivers and passengers of the motorhome. 3300 miles at 12 mph over six weeks in a 34 foot motorhome.
Saturday, July 23, 2011
Greetings from the Driver’s Seat
Tomorrow is the day we’ve all been waiting for....I am extremely honored to be a part of this great event. The Ride For 9-11 is more than a bicycle ride or tour of America. It is a labor of love to honor those who died as heroes on 9-11 and to acknowledge the soldiers who have been fighting for our freedom and way of life every day since the attacks of 9-11-01. I am humbled by the sacrifices made by the 343 of FDNY and the bravery of those who stand against tyranny and evil so that we can sleep well at night. I’d like to thank my wife, Chrissy, for her understanding and support of my involvement in the Ride For 9-11. I wish all of the riders, support personnel, and drivers a safe and successful journey. There is no place that I’d rather be.

Well spoken Rob.
ReplyDeleteRiders and Crew,
ReplyDeleteHave a safe journey!
I look forward to watching your progress
on this site. You are all doing a great thing
honoring those who made the ultimate
sacrifice. 10 years ago, 64 of us were on a
C-141 flying to New York wondering what we
were going to witness. It changed my life, I
will never forget what I saw !
Thank you!
Wade

Hey Rob and Marv,
ReplyDeleteYou are 2 weeks in now and I'm sure you have seen a lot, experienced a lot (flat tires, snakes, weather, etc.) and through it all have felt your heart and soul grow. Your ride is an experience of a life time...enjoy every second and always know that your friends in the LAFD are extremely proud of you and your team. Be safe and happy trails.
