Riders,

The PGR has been invited by the people of Lakeway and Lake Travis to accompany the AVTT Vietnam Memorial Wall into town on May 11. The American Veterans Traveling Tribute Wall is an 80% scale replica of the Vietnam Memorial in Washington, DC and is visiting the area as part of that community’s “Price of Freedom” week. Visit http://www.avtt.org to learn more about this Wall.

I will be extremely honored and humbled to attend this mission. Got some buddies on that wall that I need to say hi to.

Per Steve Von Roeder:

Also, please remind everyone participating in the caravan and/or entering onto school property that Texas State Law prohibits bringing firearms, knives, alcohol, tobacco and illegal substances onto public school property. This applies to both this site and the Lake Travis High School site at the other end of the caravan route.
