More than 200 bikers are expected this year with the number increasing every year. We have all makes of bikes with many of them veterans proudly flying our American Flag. It is quite a sight to see. We even post the map of the ride in the local newspapers and have many who stand along the route waving their flags. The bikers will make their way to the Belleville Veteran’s Memorial in Horizon Park, located off Belleville Lake on High Street, east of Main Street. The estimated arrival time is between 2 and 2:30 pm. There will be a special memorial service once all are assembled. We will honor local veterans who have died in the past year by announcing their name in a bell-ringing ceremony. Call us if you have a loved one you want announced. The ceremony itself will be approximately one hour. There is a $10 fee for riders and all riders are welcome. A pin will be given to all paying riders. The money will benefit veterans and their families. Contact: Mary / Kathie Phone: 734-697-5090 Email: browngriefcenter@yahoo.com
