By now, I hope you are planning on going with us on our annual “Ride for Freedom” for Prisoners of War and Missing in Action (POW/MIA). This is an annual rally for POW/MIAs left behind after our wars. We have had this ride every year on Memorial Day weekend since 1988. We went to Washington, DC for many years and one year to Kansas City, MO. The last two years we have went to Rainelle, West Virginia for the LZ Rainelle WV Veterans Reunion. LZ Rainelle has been so successful that we are going there again. The Moving Wall will be in Rainelle again this year. Last year, we had a video made of the ride and ceremonies. You can order the 2 DVD set by sending $15.00 to the address above and it will be sent to you.
Everyone is welcome to come to Kentucky and travel with us, by any means, i.e. motorcycle, car, truck, etc., or meet us anywhere along the route. You do not need to be a veteran, ride a motorcycle or belong to any organization or club. It is not about motorcycles, leather or even being a veteran, even though a lot of us are veterans and ride. It is about the POW/MIAs. If you care and want to do something for our POW/MIAs, then go with us. We have a breakdown truck, made possible by Task Force Omega of KY Inc. and donations from others. If you want to help, donations may be sent to Task Force Omega of KY Inc., at the address above. We are a non-profit 501(c) 3 organization, so your donation is tax deductible. If you are riding a motorcycle and break down, we will bring you back to anywhere between Rainelle, WV and Louisville, KY for no charge. There is no charge to go, just cover your room, gas, and personal expenses.
We will not have road guards. We have police and other vehicles that help us get to Rainelle and back safely. Read all of the road safety information on the back of the flyer. Please follow these safety guidelines if you are going with us. We must keep everyone safe or we cannot tell others about our POW/MIAs being unaccounted for. All exits, times, and other information are on the back of the flyer. I will lead the group. Everyone else, just follow us and enjoy the ride, because you will be a minority. You will be an American that cares and are not afraid to show it.
Can we make a difference? The answer is YES. We helped pass “The Persian Gulf War POW/MIA Accountability Act” (S-1336), which will give protection to certain foreign nationals and their family if they assist in returning a live American prisoner of war. This law applies to ANY FUTURE CONFLICT. The person that helped rescue Jessica Lynch, Persian Gulf POW was protected, thanks to this law.
In Owingsville, KY this year, our speaker will be John “Top” Holland. “Top” is an infantry veteran of WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. Rev. John Steer and Michael J. Martin, decorated Vietnam Veterans, will entertain us, along with Monica “Little Sis” Harvey. On Saturday, we will have Korean ex-POW Steve Kiba, author of “The Flag”, Kidnapped by Red China’, speak in Rainelle about live American POWs being abandoned.
Reserve your hotel rooms now. Do not put this down and expect to do it later. You can sit at home and complain that no one cares or go with us and show that you care. We will make a difference.
For Honor and Freedom,
Danny “Greasy” Belcher, Executive Director
