ALR Directors Corner
Dear fellow ALR riders and members,
First, A big thank you to all who helped by donating at street crossings and at Owens north and Owens south. Thank you for your
donations. Also, the ALR members and riders that participated by giving their time to stand at street crossings and go to Owens
and ask for contributions. A big thank you to Shakin Bake for their contribution at their concert February 27th at Huntington North
High School Auditorium. Thank you to Post 7 for your patients and understanding while we finish collecting and fund raising for
the Vietnam Traveling Wall.
The Traveling Wall is to honor Vietnam War Veterans. It is scheduled to arrive in September. The Wall is a spectacular site to
see and feel the emotion of the lost brothers and sisters who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country.
"If you are able, save for them a place inside of you and save one backward glance
when you are leaving for the places they can no longer go.
Be not ashamed to say you loved them, though you may or may not have always.
Take what they have taught you with their dying and keep it with your own.
And in that time when men decide and feel safe to call the war insane,
take one moment to embrace those gentle heroes you left behind.
