Tour of Honor

9/11 Memorials

September 11, 2001, is a date that changed the United States forever. Nearly 3,000 people lost their lives in the terrorist attacks in New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, including civilians, police officers, firefighters, and military personnel. These memorials across the country honor those who lost their lives, the first responders who gave everything in rescue efforts, and the men and women who later served in the War on Terror.

The Michael Carlo Level is named in honor of New York City firefighter Michael Carlo, who lost his life in the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001. His brother, retired New York City firefighter and Tour of Honor rider Rob Carlo, rides in his brother’s memory and in honor of the 343 firefighters who perished that day. Rob rides to ensure that we never forget.

Ride with respect, ride with pride, ride with honor. And never forget.
