WWII Airmen Memorial
1942 Remembrance Circle
Anchorage, Alaska
GPS: 61.208368,-149.841395
Access: 24/7
Inscribed are the names of those airmen from the Eleventh Air Force, Fleet Air Wing Four, and Royal Canadian Air Force who died or suffered captivity in the defense of Alaska while serving in the Aleutian Islands during World War II.
Made in America: You’ll want to make hotel reservations in Anchorage as far ahead as possible. Smaller towns and villages not so much, but the farther ahead you plan, the better prices you will normally receive. TripAdvisor.com is your friend in Alaska.
The Long Branch Saloon in South Anchorage is a biker friendly, reasonably priced, great place to eat if you like small “dive type bars.” Open until 11AM-2:30AM. They also serve a great breakfast from 9AM-12N BUT only on weekends. 1737 East Dimond Circle
Kriner’s Diner in midtown serves great food in huge portions so be hungry if you stop in here. http://krinersdiner.com
Gwennie’s Old Alaska Restaurant is an Alaska-themed restaurant/bar right across the street from House of Harley. Huge portions and biker friendly. https://bit.ly/2Gpdl0A
Alaska Wild Berry Products is well worth the visit, especially if you need to take some “Alaska made goodies” back home to friends and family. https://bit.ly/2GpNTYN
Alyeska Resort is a downhill ski resort with tram rides up the mountain year around. On a nice day, the view is hard to beat plus there is a cafeteria for lunch and a fine dining restaurant overlooking Anchorage and Turnagain Arm. A nice place to spend the evening. https://bit.ly/2O0VpgR
Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center makes a great day trip or when headed south from Anchorage. See all the critters that roam Alaska from a safe vantage point. https://bit.ly/2RrfkaU
Begich, Boggs Visitors Center is an informative geological place to visit heading south from Anchorage and especially if you are taking the Alaska State Ferry System out of Whittier. Several glaciers in the area and you can even take a 1 hour “Glacier Cruise” to get up close and personal with Portage Glacier. https://bit.ly/37CzTHf

Veterans Memorial
Denali Park
Milepost 147.2 of the George Parks Hwy.
Byer’s Lake, Alaska
GPS: 62.745608, -150.129795
Access: 24/7
The memorial consists of five 20-foot tall concrete panels, one each to represent the Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines and Coast Guard, arranged in a semi-circle. A statue of two Alaska Territorial Guards, carved by Canadian sculptor George Pratt, greet you at the entrance. On each panel is a short history of that branch’s contribution to Alaska.
This is the most visited veterans memorial in Alaska. Every Memorial Day weekend, all Alaska H.O.G. Chapters have a “Meet in the Middle” rally to pay tribute to our veterans. Alaska Vets MC and Combat Vets MC have a weekend rally with a group ride staged from Mary Carey’s McKinley View Lodge to the Byer’s Memorial. 100s of bikes are involved and it is something else to behold and take part in. And YES, anyone can be a part of it. All you have to do is show up.
Made in America: The Denali State Park is 325,240 acres, nearly half the size of Rhode Island. The park provides visitors with a great variety of recreational opportunities, ranging from roadside camping to extreme wilderness exploration.
Tesoro Gas Station at Talkeetna Spur Road turnoff is a popular place with a lot of business so fuel is fresh. For bikes with smaller tanks, this is a critical fuel stop when headed north.
Several restaurants in Talkeetna, Fairview Inn and West Rib have been featured on the Food Network Channel.
The 14 mile Talkeetna Spur Road is a scenic road leading to the village of Talkeetna where the Talkeetna, Susitna and Chulitna Rivers meet. Talkeetna is also the staging area for climbing Mt. McKinley (Denali). Hire a charter to fly the mountain, land on a glacier. Run the rivers in 500 horsepower jet boats or take a leisure drift trip in a rubber raft. Take a hike along the tracks. Even go zip lining if you are adventurous. A unique place and well worth the time it takes to visit. https://bit.ly/2ROp263
One of the top micro breweries in Alaska calls Talkeetna home: Denali Brewing Company. https://bit.ly/2tRcx1B
There are numerous small hotels in Talkeetna, with “rustic” best describing them. Tent camping at end of town along river. Lots of Bed and Breakfasts.
McKinley Lodge provides first class lodging close to the George Parks Highway. https://bit.ly/2vhFhkt

Alaska Siberia WWII Memorial
360 Wendell Ave.
Fairbanks, Alaska
GPS: 64.845348, -147.717025
Access: 24/7
This memorial honors the pilots who flew aircraft from the continental United States to Siberia via Alaska as part of the Lend-Lease program during World War II.
During the years 1942-1945, Fairbanks was the point of transfer of 7,926 airplanes from US factories to the Soviet Union, America’s Ally in the war against Hitler’s Germany. American pilots brought airplanes from Great Falls, Montana to Fairbanks, where Soviet representatives accepted and ferried them along the Soviet leg of the route to Krasnoyarsk and then to the battlefronts.
Made in America: Pike’s Waterfront Lodge is an only-in-Alaska hotel on the banks of the China River. Nice and reasonably priced. https://pikeslodge.com
Chatanika Lodge has 10 rooms, food and some interesting gold mining memorabilia, especially the gigantic gold dredge across the street. A lot of gold mining history here. https://bit.ly/2uymrFk
Arctic Circle. Not a good trip for touring bikes, but better for dual sports. Rental vehicles are usually not allowed on this road. Road itself is fairly well maintained but extremely dry conditions are just about as bad as wet, rainy conditions. This is the Haul Road as in Ice Road Truckers show and truck traffic is continuous and fast. The trucks have right of way so it’s up to you to preferably pull over and stop, waiting for them to pass. Can be quite exciting at times and not always in a good way. https://bit.ly/2tRcToX
Chena River Hot Springs is a great ride, 56 miles one way on a usually minimal traffic paved road. Besides the hot springs, the resort is one of the best places in Alaska to view the northern lights, from September to March. And it’s well worth the trip just to see the Aurora Ice Museum, the world’s largest year-round ice museum with its very own ice bar. 20 degrees inside, so bring heated gear! https://bit.ly/37rQtJH

Veterans Memorial
340 Galena Dr.
Valdez, Alaska
GPS: 61.127779, -146.358473
This small memorial is sponsored by Valdez Post 2 American Legion and dedicated to the Vietnam Veterans lost from Alaska.
Also in the area: Don’t get too excited if you see a few bears roaming around town, especially when the Salmon are running which is most all summer. Valdez is a tourist town so be prepared.
There’s a nice museum here also. Valdez actually relocated the whole town after the 1964 earthquake. https://bit.ly/36tfWRs
Walk the docks and watch fishing charters coming in and unloading catch.
Take a Resurrection Bay sightseeing or fishing charter.
Lodging: Totem Inn is a bit rustic, but a clean, biker friendly and reasonably priced hotel that caters to Alaska H.O.G. riders frequently. They have an excellent restaurant at the hotel also. https://bit.ly/2RokuEu
Best Western is right on the water overlooking the boat harbor so it has some spectacular views. https://bit.ly/37t1FFM
Food: Old Town Burgers is great for a big breakfast and burgers are some of the best anywhere. Reasonable prices and biker friendly but no frills or atmosphere. A great biker hangout. https://bit.ly/38ARxLt
The Fat Mermaid is basically a bar with about a dozen tables. Great food with an extensive menu. All their seafood items are great. Occasional music and it can get a little loud late in the evening. https://bit.ly/36qKcwv

Portage Glacier Rd.
Whittier, Alaska
GPS: 60.790088, -148.815105
Access: CAUTION advised, see below. $12 toll. Passage through tunnel not necessary for verification purposes. Whittier signage OK.
Anton Anderson (1892–1960) was a true Alaska pioneer and shaper of the Alaskan Railroad and Highway system. He was chief engineer of the Alaska Railroad and served as Mayor of Anchorage, Alaska from 1956 to 1958. He has been called “Mr. Alaska Railroad.”
In the 1930s, Anderson worked on the Matanuska Colonization Project, building Alaskan infrastructure to support the settlement of the Matanuska Valley. During World War II, he served in the United States Army Corps of Engineers. He also participated in the construction of the Eklutna River hydroelectric dam.
In 1976, the tunnel from Whittier to Portage, Alaska, which he had overseen, was renamed the Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel. https://bit.ly/2RorYrd
CAUTION: Before passing through the 2.5 mile tunnel (longest one-lane highway tunnel in North America), READ THE LINKS BELOW. This tunnel shares traffic with trains (though not at the same time). SLIPPERY WITH STRONG CROSSWINDS due to jet fans used for ventilation. If you’re uncomfortable with slippery bridge grating or crossing wet trolley tracks, you’ll likely be uncomfortable here (tip: keep bike centered between the rails, don’t white knuckle the handlebars....relax) TUNNEL PASSAGE NOT MANDATORY for credit.

Ola Lee Mize Patriots Park
Across from 1311 Noccalula Rd.
Gadsden, Alabama
GPS: 34.036519, -86.023858
Access: 24/7, unrestricted
On November 6th, 2013, Etowah County veterans gathered to dedicate the Ola Lee Mize Patriots Park and Museum at Noccalula Falls Park. The park and some monuments have been there for years but the museum is new. A circular building with eight windows, the museum houses exhibits commemorating the service careers of the area's veterans. While plans for the museum have been around for about 15 years, it was only recently that the project came together.
The museum and park is named for Ola Lee Mize, an Etowah County resident who won the Congressional Medal of Honor for actions in 1953 during the Korean War. His military career extended through the Vietnam War and he retired from the Army in 1981. At age 82, Mr. Mize still lives in Etowah County
The park houses several monuments to all services and is a work in progress. Donations are coming in for the museum and arrangements are being made to acquire an M-60 tank to go along with the large brass screw off a WWII LST.

Access for photo: 24/7
The park is a unique military attraction and an unforgettable adventure with a number of exhibits and memorials on the grounds. An Air Force F4 Phantom marks the entrance which is open every day except Christmas. We strongly advise to pay the $15 entry fee ($2 AAA and senior discounts) to see tanks, artillery pieces, aircraft, a submarine, and the stately South Dakota-class battleship, the USS Alabama. For anyone with an interest in military history, allow ample time to take in the sights.
Hours of operation are 8AM-6PM (April through September), 8AM-5PM (October through March). The last ticket is sold one hour prior to closing. https://www.ussalabama.com
Made in America: Fort Blakely Park is the site of the siege of Fort Blakely, the last battle of the Civil War. At the time, General Robert E. Lee had already surrendered the Confederacy to Union Forces. Without knowledge of the war’s end though, over 16,000 Union troops emerged from siege trenches and rifle pits to attack 4,000 Confederates along a three mile front. The battlefield has been undisturbed for over 148 years and still looks much like it did the day of the battle.
The park is also a nature preserve and has several secluded wilderness campsites if you’d like to stay the night. The park is open from 9AM to dusk, seven days a week. https://www.blakeleypark.com/About-Us

Access: 24/7
USS Talladega (APA/LPA-208) was a Haskell-class attack transport ship of the United States Navy. She was named for the city of Talladega and Talladega County, Alabama.
Talladega was laid down under Maritime Commission contract (MCV hull 556) at Richmond, California, on 3 June 1944 by the Permanente Metals Corporation; launched on 17 August 1944, sponsored by Miss Marie Tomerlin; and commissioned on 31 October 1944, with Captain Edward H. McMenemy in command.
The Talladega arrived off Iwo Jima on the morning of February 19th, 1944 "D-day." The four Marines pictured in Joe Rosenthal's famous flag-raising photograph debarked from USS Talladega to climb Mt. Suribachi on Iwo Jima: Ira Hayes, Franklin Sousley, Harlon Block, and Mike Strank. After landing her troops, she remained off the beaches embarking combat casualties for six days before heading back toward Saipan.
Talladega received two battle stars for World War II, two for Korea, and three for Vietnam.
Made in America: Across the courthouse square, to the east, you'll find the Hall of Heroes, a new museum raised in honor of local veterans, where "It's Veterans Day here every day." https://www.talladegaheroes.org
And if you're a racing fan, no trip through the area would be complete without visiting NASCAR's "biggest and baddest" track, the Talladega Superspeedway. https://www.talladegasuperspeedway.com

Veterans Memorial
N Court Sq. & Washington St.
Magnolia, Arkansas
GPS: 33.267299, -93.240619
Access: 24/7. Handicap access is located on the south side of the building.
This memorial lists the names of service members from Columbia County who died during WWI, WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. On July 4, 1906 a new Court House, the third on the square, was dedicated and this memorial is the centerpiece, elevated several feet above the streets.
Made in America: The original survey of Magnolia was one mile square and the court house square is a copy of the one in Oxford, Mississippi. In 1852 it was the only county in the state without a navigable river. The first railroad was operational in 1882 but passed north through McNeil and Waldo. Magnolia citizens quickly raised the funds to construct a branch railroad line from Magnolia to McNeil.
Cotton was "king" in Magnolia. With the completion of the spur, markets were drawn to Magnolia and its future was assured. You can still see the cotton traders on the square in the East Main mural. Lumber interest sprang up and brought the railroad from the South, and Magnolia continued to grow.
Cool treat location: Dairy Queen, approx. .5 miles from memorial at 501 E. Main St.
Take a photo similar to the one above, along with rider flag and motorcycle. Refer to RULES 6-8 (http://www.tourofhonor.com/pages/rules.html#rules57) for photo verification. Scorers have final say whether standards are met.

The Arizona Veterans Memorial is split into a North and South section. The two sections are separated by water so if you choose to visit both sections, you’ll have to go around the long way, unless you packed a swim suit of course. To access the NORTH part of the memorial you would go to the parking lot behind the saloon at 2170 Rio Grande.
But, for TOH purposes, the required visit is to the south portion of the park. The only access is on the property of the American Legion so a visit when they are open would be recommended.

Morenci 9 Memorial
Morenci High School
1 Stadium Dr.
Morenci, Arizona
GPS: 33.039814, -109.321021
Access: 24/7
A plaque is erected in a pillar of copper ore that honors the service and sacrifice of nine Marines from Morenci. Of the nine names listed, six paid the ultimate sacrifice in Vietnam.
With a population around 6,000 in the 1960s, Morenci was (and still is) a mining town. With few options in a rural mining town and with the likelihood of being drafted, eight seniors from the Morenci Class of 1966 along with one that graduated the year before enlisted on the same day and left on a bus together bound for boot camp on July 4, 1966. The Morenci 9 included men from all parts of the then-segregated town – five were white, three were Hispanic, and one was Navajo. While they knew each other in high school, they were not necessarily close friends. It was their joint enlistment into the Marine Corps that brought them together as brothers in arms.
After eight weeks together at boot camp, they received their assignments, deploying to various locations in Vietnam and West Coast military bases. They learned of the others’ movements through letters to each other and from family in Morenci. Two of the Marines died in 1967, and by the end of 1969 four more had lost their lives in Vietnam. Only three of the nine returned to Arizona. The story is chronicled in “The Morenci Marines: A Tale of Small Town America and the Vietnam War” by Kyle Longley. While the historical work provides specific details of the Morenci 9, the themes highlighted by the author are relatable to any person that grew up any small, rural town in the United States.
Made in America: If you are visiting the monument during school hours, check in at the front office and asked to see the indoor display wall to the Morenci 9. The indoor display includes pictures and drawings of the Marines along with a copy of the article about them that appeared in January 5, 1970 issue of Time magazine.
In the neighboring town of Clifton, Arizona is Mares Hill. The trail to Mares Hill was created as a memorial to the veterans from the area. At the top the bluff is decorated with flags, a bell, and more than 2,000 replica dog tags representing combat and non-combat veterans from World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq and those who served in peace time. To find the trailhead, take Wards Canyon Road 0.4 miles and look for the signed parking lot on your left. The hike is approximately 6.5 miles round trip, with an elevation gain of 350 feet (http://www.cometoclifton.com/great-outdoors/hiking-trails.php)
Not to be missed is the opportunity to motorcycle the Coronado Trail Scenic Byway. This 120-mile section of U.S. Highway 191 between Morenci and Springerville, Arizona has 460 curves. The Coronado Trail (or “The Trail” as referred to by locals) was originally part of Arizona Route 666; hence earning the name “The Devil’s Highway.” Route 666 has since been renamed U.S. 191. The route passes right through the open pit copper mining operations at the Morenci Mine. As you pass through, be sure to size up your motorcycle to that of a three-story tall haul truck, and if possible, grab a photo. Once passed the mine, you will follow the trail used in 1540 by Spanish explorer Francisco Vasquez de Coronado as he searched for the fabled “Seven Cities of Cibola.” Wildlife abounds in the area and the scenery is some of the best in the state. Hannagan Meadow Lodge has lodging and a restaurant, or you can travel to Alpine, Arizona for a meal at the Alpine Grill, Bear Wallow Café, or the Foxfire. Fuel is available at both ends of the Coronado Trail – Morenci/Clifton, Alpine, or Springerville/Eagar. (https://www.arizonahighways.com/explore/scenic-drives/coronado-trail). Butler Motorcycle Maps rates this highway as a G-1 ride.

Morenci 9 Memorial
Morenci High School
1 Stadium Dr.
Morenci, Arizona
GPS: 33.039814, -109.321021
Access: 24/7
A plaque is erected in a pillar of copper ore that honors the service and sacrifice of nine Marines from Morenci. Of the nine names listed, six paid the ultimate sacrifice in Vietnam.
With a population around 6,000 in the 1960s, Morenci was (and still is) a mining town. With few options in a rural mining town and with the likelihood of being drafted, eight seniors from the Morenci Class of 1966 along with one that graduated the year before enlisted on the same day and left on a bus together bound for boot camp on July 4, 1966. The Morenci 9 included men from all parts of the then-segregated town – five were white, three were Hispanic, and one was Navajo. While they knew each other in high school, they were not necessarily close friends. It was their joint enlistment into the Marine Corps that brought them together as brothers in arms.
After eight weeks together at boot camp, they received their assignments, deploying to various locations in Vietnam and West Coast military bases. They learned of the others’ movements through letters to each other and from family in Morenci. Two of the Marines died in 1967, and by the end of 1969 four more had lost their lives in Vietnam.

During the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Battleship Arizona (BB39) was hit by several bombs, one of which hit the forward ammunition magazine. It was the resulting explosion that sank the ship, taking with her over 1,100 of her crewmen, whose bodies are still entombed there.
The USS Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbor is situated over the midship’s hull while the anchor and mast were retrieved and sent to Phoenix, where it now rests here in Phoenix.

Poston Memorial Monument
23701 Mohave Rd.
Poston, Arizona
GPS: 33.987617, -114.401233
Access: 24/7. Gravel parking lot is not lit at night, use caution.
The Poston Memorial Monument marks the site of a War Relocation Center where persons of Japanese ancestry, the majority of whom were United States citizens, were interned during World War II. In 1942, President Roosevelt signed an executive order that required the evacuation and internment of all persons of Japanese descent living on the West Coast. These individuals were evacuated and placed in sites like Poston on the grounds that they posed a threat to the national security. Poston was one of ten War Relocation Authority centers, most located in California.
Internees began to arrive at Poston in May 1942, and three months later, the population peaked at 17,867, becoming Arizona’s second largest city at the time. The internment lasted until November 1945.
It is the hopes of the Colorado River Indian Tribes, former internees of Poston, and veterans that this memorial will “serve as a constant reminder of our past so that Americans in the future will never again be denied their constitutional rights and may the remembrance of that experience serve to advance the evolution of the human spirit.”
TOH content: More than 1,200 of those interned at Poston signed up to serve with the 442nd Regimental Combat Team. Most of the volunteers were second generation Japanese-Americans who were born in the United States, and in spite of the injustice, they fought valiantly for American liberty and values.

During World War II, the Japanese possessed the ability to break almost any American military code. Over 400 Navajos, with 29 being the original Navajo Code Talkers, stepped forward and developed the most significant and successful military code of the time using their native language. So successful was this innovative code that military commanders credited it with saving the lives of countless American soldiers and with the successful engagements of the U.S. in the battles of Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Saipan, Iwo Jima, Okinawa and paved the way to victory for Allied forces in the Pacific Theater.
“Were it not for the Navajos, the Marines would never have taken Iwo Jima.” These were the words of Major Howard Connor, USMC 5th Marine Division Signal Officer.
Far from their homes, these brave young men served our nation with honor. Sadly, the tale of their exploits remained a closely guarded secret for decades in the event that the Navajo Code Talkers’ unique talents would be needed again. Many Code Talkers have passed on never knowing of the honors that a grateful nation now bestowed upon the remaining brothers. It was not until 1968 when the Navajo Code was declassified.
Directly across from the council chambers of the Navajo Nation, is the Navajo Nation Veterans Memorial Park modeled after the medicine wheel. Few parks in the state, and maybe even the nation, have been designed so deliberately and intentionally. Everything you see here is packed with symbolism and meaning. Although the park is not completely finished, it is a touching tribute from grateful Navajos and grateful Americans, one and the same.
Made in America: While here, take the time to visit other sculptures in the park. If you are not committed to staying inside the state of Arizona, then make sure to ride the length of the Diné Biítah “Among the People” scenic byway. This 105-mile road is worth the ride in every way.
The Navajo nation is a sovereign nation that has its own laws and customs, including a ban on firearms and alcohol. For more information on customs and laws visit www.discovernavajo.com.

Granite Mountain Hotshots Memorial State Park
SB White Spar Hwy. (AZ 89) – 2.8 miles SW of Yarnell
Yarnell, Arizona
GPS: 34.203488, -112.774329
Access: Park is open dusk to dawn. Pullout is available 24/7 for photo.
A lightning strike started a wildfire near Yarnell, Arizona on June 28, 2013. Just two short days later, 19 of the 20 firefighters belonging to the Granite Mountain Hotshots crew were overrun by the fire and killed. The story of the Granite Mountain Hotshots was depicted in the 2017 movie Only the Brave.
This isn’t the first time Tour of Honor riders will visit a memorial to the Granite Mountain Hotshots. In 2015, riders visited the final resting place of 13 of the 19 heroes buried at the historic Pioneers’ Home Cemetery in nearby Prescott. This year, Tour of Honor riders will visit the Granite Mountain Hotshots Memorial State Park which opened to the public on November 30, 2016. The park is situated on 320 acres where the fire occurred.
The state park includes a 2.85-mile trail. Along the trail, hikers will encounter 200+ stair, interpretive signs, and 19 memorial plaques that lead to an observation deck. The 19 plaques share a photo and a story of each fallen crew member. From the observation deck, hikers can see the Town of Yarnell and the fatality site of the hotshots. A tribute wall at the observation deck is available to leave stickers, patches and other mementos in honor of the sacrifice the Granite Mountain Hotshots made to protect the public. Once at the observation deck, a 3/4-mile trail, allows hikers to follow the last steps of the hotshots down to the fatality site where they made their last stand. Encircling the fatality site, 19 gabion baskets are united by chains representing their eternal team.
The latest addition to the park is a bronze Hotshot sculpture. The bronze was donated to the park on behalf of the Wildland Firefighter Guardian Institute by the Facebook Watch program Returning the Favor, starring Mike Rowe. The sculpture was unveiled in April 2018. The Returning the Favor episode was posted on April 17, 2018. The sculpture is accessible from the state park’s parking lot.
Made in America: The White Spar Highway (AZ 89) is well-known to motorcycle riders heading to and from Prescott or Wickenburg who often stop at the popular Ranch House Restaurant in Yarnell for breakfast or lunch Thursday through Sunday (http://ranchhouserestaurantyarnell.com/).

Granite Mountain Hotshots Memorial State Park
SB White Spar Hwy. (AZ 89) – 2.8 miles SW of Yarnell
Yarnell, Arizona
GPS: 34.203488, -112.774329
Access: Park is open dusk to dawn. Pullout is available 24/7 for photo.
A lightning strike started a wildfire near Yarnell, Arizona on June 28, 2013. Just two short days later, 19 of the 20 firefighters belonging to the Granite Mountain Hotshots crew were overrun by the fire and killed. The story of the Granite Mountain Hotshots was depicted in the 2017 movie Only the Brave.
This isn’t the first time Tour of Honor riders will visit a memorial to the Granite Mountain Hotshots. In 2015, riders visited the final resting place of 13 of the 19 heroes buried at the historic Pioneers’ Home Cemetery in nearby Prescott. This year, Tour of Honor riders will visit the Granite Mountain Hotshots Memorial State Park which opened to the public on November 30, 2016. The park is situated on 320 acres where the fire occurred.
The state park includes a 2.85-mile trail. Along the trail, hikers will encounter 200+ stair, interpretive signs, and 19 memorial plaques that lead to an observation deck. The 19 plaques share a photo and a story of each fallen crew member. From the observation deck, hikers can see the Town of Yarnell and the fatality site of the hotshots. A tribute wall at the observation deck is available to leave stickers, patches and other mementos in honor of the sacrifice the Granite Mountain Hotshots made to protect the public. Once at the observation deck, a 3/4-mile trail, allows hikers to follow the last steps of the hotshots down to the fatality site where they made their last stand. Encircling the fatality site, 19 gabion baskets are united by chains representing their eternal team.
The latest addition to the park is a bronze Hotshot sculpture. The bronze was donated to the park on behalf of the Wildland Firefighter Guardian Institute by the Facebook Watch program Returning the Favor, starring Mike Rowe. The sculpture was unveiled in April 2018. The Returning the Favor episode was posted on April 17, 2018. The sculpture is accessible from the state park’s parking lot.
Made in America: The White Spar Highway (AZ 89) is well-known to motorcycle riders heading to and from Prescott or Wickenburg who often stop at the popular Ranch House Restaurant in Yarnell for breakfast or lunch Thursday through Sunday (http://ranchhouserestaurantyarnell.com/).
Downtown Prescott’s Whiskey Row (38 miles from the state park) is known for bars and live music (https://www.prescott.com/whiskey-row-restaurants-bars). This block of town includes The Palace, the oldest frontier saloon in Arizona and the most well-known and historic restaurant and saloon in the state.

This is at the Desert Training Center California-Arizona Maneuver Area. The D.T.C. was established by Major General Gorge S. Patton in response to a need to train American combat troops for battle in North Africa during WWII. The camp, which began operation in 1942, covered 18,000 square miles, and was the largest military training ground ever to exist. Over one million men were trained at the eleven sub-camps (seven in California, four in Arizona).
The museum is a must-visit for anyone with an interest in military history. Gas & food are all here. If you are into dry camping there are some free camp sites behind the museum. Not far to the west is Joshua Tree National Park, good camping and a nice motorcycle ride up to the 29 Palms area.

One of San Diego area’s most popular tourist destinations, a memorial with 360 degree views and grassy areas for picnicking. The hilltop location has a storied history with the Lindbergh’s using it for glider flights in the 1920s, used as part of the early-warning defense system in World War II, the Latin Cross dedicated in 1954 for Korean War Veterans, long used by ships and planes for navigation, and now saluting veterans from all wars.
Over 3,000 individuals are memorialized with their photos and stories etched onto six concentric walls of granite plaques.

One of San Diego area’s most popular tourist destinations, a memorial with 360 degree views and grassy areas for picnicking. The hilltop location has a storied history with the Lindbergh’s using it for glider flights in the 1920s, used as part of the early-warning defense system in World War II, the Latin Cross dedicated in 1954 for Korean War Veterans, long used by ships and planes for navigation, and now saluting veterans from all wars.
Over 3,000 individuals are memorialized with their photos and stories etched onto six concentric walls of granite plaques.

Wildland Firefighters Memorial
Ortega Hwy and South Main Divide Rd.
Lake Elsinore, California
GPS: 33.65169,-117.40821
Access: 24/7
This memorial is a tribute to firefighters that have paid the ultimate sacrifice fighting wildland fires in the state of California. Conception came about in 1995 when a group of retirees, fire survivors, CAL FIRE and USDA Forest Service sought to repair and replace missing markers from the Decker Fire of 1959. This fire killed 6 firefighters within the Santa Ana Mountains above Lake Elsinore.
Made in America: About a mile east, is the Lookout Roadhouse is located at 32107 Ortega Hwy. More than just a biker-friendly restaurant, this is a local gem providing a memorable experience. Southern California may be known for its upscale restaurants, but it also has plenty of under-the-radar hidden gems that deserve to be discovered. One worthy contender is this local gem that’s known for more than its food — it also has one of the most amazing views around. https://lookoutroadhouse.com

To commemorate the lives of the nearly 3,000 people who died 15 years ago on September 11, the City of Rosemead unveiled “Reflect,” a sculpture of two hands fashioned from thousands of dove-like cutouts carrying a steel girder from the World Trade Center just as emergency personnel carried victims on September 11, 2001. Each dove represents a victim. The sculpture was created by local artist Heath Satow.
Made in America: A short 20 minute drive away is the Los Angeles Police Museum is located at 6045 York Blvd. in Los Angeles. This little-known gem in SoCal is quite the discovery and deserves a few hours of your time for a visit. You’ll be fascinated by the history you can find inside this unique museum that captures over 150 years of history from the LAPD.

GPS: 32.712727, -117.175535
Access: 24/7
An elevated plaza with the sign: "A National Salute to Bob Hope and the Military." And what looks from a distance like a small crowd assembled around a man at an old time-y microphone.
The figure with the mic is a bronze likeness of Bob Hope, the legendary movie/TV comedian and entertainer, in his prime. Before his death in 2003 at age 100, Hope had performed in hundreds of USO events since 1941, entertaining US military audiences in far-flung theaters of conflict, from World War II to the Gulf War.
Made in America: Just a few blocks away is KC BBQ. Good food and you might recognize the place from the movie, Top Gun. This is where several bar scenes were filmed, including “Great Balls of Fire” and “You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling.” http://kcbbq.net

Veterans Rock
Cotopaxi Elementary School
345 Co Rd 12
Cotopaxi, Colorado
GPS: 38.376297, -105.690243
Access: 24/7. Caution: The driveway in front of the school is chip sealed and loose gravel exists. This is near a school bus zone, so try to avoid drop-off and pick-up hours.
Dedicated November 11, 2019 Cotapaxi’s Veterans Rock demonstrates small town America’s dedication and tenacity for building memorials when resources are limited.
After visiting a Freedom Rock in Menlo, Iowa, Cotapaxi teacher Debra Krizmanich, was inspired by Bubba Sorenson’s work. A three-woman Veterans Rock Committee was formed. Committee members included Krismanich, Joe Hartsell a former school secretary, and Nicole Richards a current school employee.
The group reached out to Veterans organizations and residents from several counties in the region for assistance with funds and materials for the rock. Local granite from a quarry in Texas Creek was set in place at the school. Saguache artist and rancher Wade Collins carved and painted the inspirational stone.

Veterans Rock
Cotopaxi Elementary School
345 Co Rd 12
Cotopaxi, Colorado
GPS: 38.376297, -105.690243
Access: 24/7. Caution: The driveway in front of the school is chip sealed and loose gravel exists. This is near a school bus zone, so try to avoid drop-off and pick-up hours.
Dedicated November 11, 2019 Cotapaxi’s Veterans Rock demonstrates small town America’s dedication and tenacity for building memorials when resources are limited.
After visiting a Freedom Rock in Menlo, Iowa, Cotapaxi teacher Debra Krizmanich, was inspired by Bubba Sorenson’s work. A three-woman Veterans Rock Committee was formed. Committee members included Krismanich, Joe Hartsell a former school secretary, and Nicole Richards a current school employee.
The group reached out to Veterans organizations and residents from several counties in the region for assistance with funds and materials for the rock. Local granite from a quarry in Texas Creek was set in place at the school. Saguache artist and rancher Wade Collins carved and painted the inspirational stone.

Vietnam Veterans Memorial
340 Hwy. 340
Fruita, Colorado
GPS: 39.152912,-108.736096
Access: 24/7
The names of all those from the Western Slope who were lost in the Vietnam conflict are listed here and it is especially poignant for the people of Fruita and nearby Grand Junction because of two of their native sons.
From Jim Doody, Founder of the Memorial:
“This is the story of two young Grand Junction men who had a dream. Tom Doody and Marshall Davis. They met when they were Freshmen at Central High School in 1963. There they became best of friends. They joined the Civil Air Patrol. At Walker Field they learned to parachute and fly fixed wing aircraft. They both reached the rank of Captain. Upon graduating in 1967 they started formulating a plan to service the Aspen and Vail Ski Resorts. A very innovative idea for two 18 year old boys.
“They decided to attend Rangely College (now known as Colorado Northwestern Community College) where they could earn their commercial license by the end of their sophomore year. After they had obtained their licenses they decided that their business would be better served if they also could fly helicopters. Joining the U.S. Army they could also take advantage of the G.I. Bill. This would put all the pieces together and make their dream come true. Tommy is sent to Ft. Wolters for Primary Helicopter School. Marshall joins the Engineering Corp.
“In 1970, both men are sent to Vietnam. After flying over 225 combat missions Tom is ordered to ferry troops into Laos. The invasion was called Operation Lam Son 719. On Feb. 8th 1971, his helicopter is shot down and explodes on impact. Several days later a rescue team arrives and finds the remains of 3 American crew members. One man is missing. So our family waited and prayed that he had made it out alive. Tom received the Purple Heart, Air Medal w/ 10 oak leaf clusters, Distinguished Flying Cross, Bronze Star, Army Commendation Medal, and several others.
“Upon request from my Mother, Marshall escorted my brothers’ remains back to Grand Jct. for a military burial. On March 25th 1971 he was laid to rest. While the 21 Gun Salute was taking place, the first Civil Air Patrol plane (a Piper Cub) that Tom had flown passed over our heads. Marshall returned to the war. The last time I saw him was a year later on Feb. 8th 1972. He brought my Mom flowers and visited with her for an hour. Marshall married and had 3 children. He flew helicopters for several companies in the Southwest. Later he moved his family to Pendleton, Oregon where he flew Ambulance. On Dec. 3rd 1986 Marshall died in a helicopter accident when he encountered severe weather.”

Dedicated November 1, 2019 the Garden City memorial is another fine example of small-town America tenacity. Envisioned by Garden City employees, TOH rider Abby Spaedt and Stephen Lewchuck, the memorial was two years in the making.
Loveland artist and sculpture, Daniel B. Glanz, worked with Spaedt and Lewchuck to create the bronze for the Garden City memorial, depicting a service dog at a bench nuzzling a man suffering from PTSD.
The dedication plaque reads:
“The town of Garden City honors veterans, active members of the United States Armed Forces, and first responders who are struggling or who have lost the battle with post traumatic stress disorder. If you are still fighting you are not alone. You stood up when our country and communities needed you and for that we are forever grateful.”
Nice going, Abby, for your dedication to this project!

WWII Submarine Memorial
Bridge & Thames Sts.
Groton, Connecticut
GPS: 41.362634, -72.08345
Access: 24/7
Near the entrance to the New London Submarine Base is the Submarine Memorial. A short drive south you’ll come across the periscope and conning tower of the USS Flasher, a WWII submarine. A sister to the WWII Submarine Memorial–West in Los Angeles, this memorial features 52 granite stones representing the submarines lost in WWII and a Wall of Honor inscribed with the names of the 3,617 submariners who gave their lives in the Silent Service during WWII.
The USS Flasher served in the Pacific Theater in WWII, engaged in 6 war patrols and sank 21 Japanese ships. Launched less than a year after her keel was laid, the Flasher went on to serve in active duty for 3 years during which she was credited with sinking over 100,000 tons of enemy ship, the largest tonnage of any submarine in the war.
Made in America: The Submarine Force Museum, located three miles north, on the Thames River in Groton, is the home of the USS Nautilus, the first nuclear powered vessel. The museum is the only one operated by the US Navy, tracing the development of the “Silent Service” from David Bushnell’s Turtle, used in the Revolutionary War, to the latest Ohio and Virginia class submarines. https://www.ussnautilus.org
Norm’s Diner is just down the road at 171 Bridge St., a classic 1954 Silk City recently renovated and under new management, open every day but Tues, 5AM-1PM. It remains a favorite stop for motorcyclists.
Or you can grab a bite to eat at the “birthplace of the hamburger,” Louis’ Lunch in New Haven, but don’t ask for ketchup as they only offer cheese, onions and tomato to dress your burger. https://louislunch.com
If seafood is more your thing, Jimmie’s in West Haven serves up the best fried clams you’ll find in a state that exports more clam than any other seafood. Since 1925. https://bit.ly/2OhpHfm

WWII Submarine Memorial
Bridge & Thames Sts.
Groton, Connecticut
GPS: 41.362634, -72.08345
Access: 24/7
Near the entrance to the New London Submarine Base is the Submarine Memorial. A short drive south you’ll come across the periscope and conning tower of the USS Flasher, a WWII submarine. A sister to the WWII Submarine Memorial–West in Los Angeles, this memorial features 52 granite stones representing the submarines lost in WWII and a Wall of Honor inscribed with the names of the 3,617 submariners who gave their lives in the Silent Service during WWII.
The USS Flasher served in the Pacific Theater in WWII, engaged in 6 war patrols and sank 21 Japanese ships. Launched less than a year after her keel was laid, the Flasher went on to serve in active duty for 3 years during which she was credited with sinking over 100,000 tons of enemy ship, the largest tonnage of any submarine in the war.
Made in America: The Submarine Force Museum, located three miles north, on the Thames River in Groton, is the home of the USS Nautilus, the first nuclear powered vessel. The museum is the only one operated by the US Navy, tracing the development of the “Silent Service” from David Bushnell’s Turtle, used in the Revolutionary War, to the latest Ohio and Virginia class submarines. https://www.ussnautilus.org
Norm’s Diner is just down the road at 171 Bridge St., a classic 1954 Silk City recently renovated and under new management, open every day but Tues, 5AM-1PM. It remains a favorite stop for motorcyclists.
Or you can grab a bite to eat at the “birthplace of the hamburger,” Louis’ Lunch in New Haven, but don’t ask for ketchup as they only offer cheese, onions and tomato to dress your burger. https://louislunch.com
If seafood is more your thing, Jimmie’s in West Haven serves up the best fried clams you’ll find in a state that exports more clam than any other seafood. Since 1925. https://bit.ly/2OhpHfm

Fallen Firefighters Memorial Garden
Manchester Fire Station #5
331 Tolland Turnpike
Manchester, Connecticut
GPS: 41.810585, -72.521097
Access: 24/7. Don’t park in driveways for obvious reasons.
The memorial garden is dedicated to all who have answered the final alarm – regardless of where they served. Located in front of one of the town’s fire stations, the garden is a mix of memorials dedicated to the memory of fallen firefighters. Among these memorials is a pair of standing alarm boxes depicting the North and South World Trade Center Towers flanked by the names of all New York Firefighters lost in the 9-11 attacks.
A gate stands in memory of six firefighters from Worcester who lost their lives in a warehouse fire. An eternal hydrant flows nearby honoring four Manchester firefighters who have died on duty.
And theree’s a silhouette of Granite Mountain in memory of the 19-member Granite Mountain Hotshot Crew who died fighting the 2013 Yarnell Hill fire in Arizona.
Made in America: Cheeks Chicken & Waffles (648 Center St) is a small diner featuring batter fried chicken and waffles.
If a burger (beef, lamb, mushroom, salmon or good old patty melt) is more your style, the Artisanal Burger Company is the place to go, also featuring craft beer and bourbon if you’re staying over. https://bit.ly/2vFILO3

Vietnam and Korean War Memorial
Milford Green
Across from 135 Broad St.
Milford, Connecticut
GPS: 41.220624, -73.060258
Access: 24/7
WE MOURN THE FALLEN, WE GRIEVE THE MISSING, WE CELEBRATE THE RETURN OF OUR VALIANT MEN AND WOMEN.
Standing atop a common granite block are memorial statues of a soldier from the Vietnam War back to back with his counterpart from the Korean War. Together they stand as a memorial to the four Milford men killed in Korea, and the 11 who died in Vietnam.
Also on the Green are monuments to WWII veterans and a memorial to the deceased members of the town’s volunteer fire companies.
Made in America: If New England seafood is your deal, stop at 826 Bridgeport Ave where you’ll find the Lobster Hut truck parked most days – classic lobster and clam rolls are a tradition, and the ones from this truck are outstanding.
Or, if you’ve got a hot dog or burger craving, the popular Dogtown is a small (tiny really) restaurant/shack at 664 New Haven Ave. – good shakes and tater tots too!

Iwo Jima Memorial
Ella Grasso Blvd. (exit 29 off CT Rt 9)
New Britain, Connecticut
GPS: 41.69823, -72.75853
Access: 24/7
Similar to the United States Marine Corps War Memorial in Arlington, Virginia, Connecticut’s version is the official National Iwo Jima Memorial and although similar is not a copy. The statue was patterned after Joe Rosenthal’s iconic photograph of the Marine capture of Mount Suribachi on Iwo Jima in 1945.
Inscribed on the base surrounding the memorial are the names of 100 Connecticut men who gave their lives during the battle for the island.
Near the base are two granite monuments honoring military chaplains and the combat medical corps. The only major monument to the medical corps, this monument honors the 738 medical corpsmen and 23 doctors killed or wounded during the battle of Iwo Jima.
Made in America: For something a little different, take a short ride to the Avery Soda Company. Over 35 flavors and made with cane sugar. If you arrive on bottling day at this 100 year old soda factory, the oldest in New England, your tour can even include making your own three bottles of soda. http://averysoda.com
Lake Compounce is America’s oldest continuously operating amusement park, next to the continent’s tallest (38 story) elevator test tower skyscraper in Bristol.

Disabled Veterans Memorial
150 Washington Ave. SW
Washington, DC
GPS: 38.886200, -77.013100
Access: 24/7. NOTE: This is on TOP of tunnel. Two photos required. Advise parking near 2nd St. SW & C St. SW
Located just east of the Capitol and United States Botanical Gardens, this memorial is dedicated to the courage and sacrifice of those American veterans who were injured and disabled in the line of duty.
Featuring a star shaped fountain and triangular reflecting pool with an eternal flame at its center, it is surrounded by 48 glass panels and 4 bronze sculptures. The etched panels have photographs of veterans who gave a part of themselves and their future in the defense of our way of life. The quotations etched alongside give a sense of the pain, sacrifice and sense of duty they felt. This particular panel is titled “In war, there are no unwounded soldiers.”
Although you can see it from the street, you’ll want to park the bike (Washington Ave northbound has street parking) and find this panel and truly experience this memorial. It’s not one for a point and shoot. If you have a chance, see it at night, the panels are lit from below. You’ll be hard pressed not to be moved by this monument to those who came back home with lifetime reminders of the war that took a part of them away.
Made in America: In addition to the Capitol, the Library of Congress and Botanical Gardens, this end of the National Mall is also home to the Museums of the Smithsonian. www.si.edu/Visit

Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall
Constitution Gardens
5 Henry Bacon Dr.
Washington, DC
GPS: 38.891225, -77.047704
Access: 8AM-12Midnight. Two photos required.
The Vietnam Veterans Memorial was founded by Jan Scruggs, who served in Vietnam (199th Light Infantry Brigade) from 1969-1970 as an infantry corporal. He wanted the memorial to acknowledge and recognize the service and sacrifice of all who served in Vietnam.
Mr. Scruggs lobbied Congress for a two acre plot of land in the Constitution Gardens, and on July 1, 1980, in the Rose Garden, President Jimmy Carter signed legislation to provide a site near the Lincoln Memorial.
It was a three and half year task to build the memorial and to orchestrate a celebration to salute those who served in Vietnam. With the addition of six names added in 2010, the total is now 58,272 names listed on the Memorial. Approximately 1200 of these are listed as missing (MIAs, POWs, and others).
Every year, the Run for the Wall motorcycle ride sets out from West Coast and ends with a massive parade on Memorial Day weekend. The 10-day Run for the Wall proceeds along 4 routes across the U.S., visiting Veterans Hospitals and memorial sites along the way. On the Sunday evening before Memorial Day, Rolling Thunder starts from the Pentagon parking lots and more than 350,000 bikes will ride through downtown Washington, DC ending at The Wall.

Vietnam Women’s Memorial
5 Henry Bacon Dr.
Washington, DC
GPS: 38.890568, -77.047002
Access: 8AM-12Midnight. Two photos required.
Flanked by the Vietnam Memorial Wall and the Three Soldiers Monument, the Women’s Memorial is a tribute to all women who served in the Vietnam War. Most were nurses in various branches of the armed services and this memorial features three caring for a wounded soldier. Serving as a reminder both of the importance of the role they played during the war and the hope they provided for the wounded; the three nurses, Hope, Faith and Charity are emblematic of the 265,000 who served during the war, 11,000 of them in Vietnam itself. All volunteers.
Because of the guerilla tactics of the North Vietnamese, many women were in the middle of combat zones. There was no front, no such thing as being stationed safely behind the lines. The names of eight are inscribed in the Wall nearby, having died in Vietnam.
An unknown number of civilian women also served in Vietnam as working for the Red Cross, the USO, Catholic Relief Services and other humanitarian organizations. Like their military counterparts, many of these women were wounded in the crossfire. More than 50 civilian American women died in Vietnam. This memorial is for them as well.
Made in America: Take a stroll east towards the WWII Memorial and around the north side of Constitution Gardens Pond, cross the bridge to the island and picnic near the memorial to the Signers of the Declaration of Independence (GPS 38.89108,-77.04286).

Law Enforcement Memorial
410 Legislative Ave.
Dover, Delaware
GPS: 39.156502, -75.521168
Access: 24/7
In May 2010, Delaware became the last state in the country to erect a monument to honor its fallen police officers. Paying tribute to all law enforcement officers in the state of Delaware who have made the ultimate sacrifice while serving their fellow citizens, the memorial lists 40 officers who have lost their lives since 1893.
Standing on the grounds of the Legislative Mall in front of the state capitol, the memorial stands as a constant reminder of the danger faced by police officers daily as well as the devotion, valor and honor they bring to their work. When it was originally erected there were 36 names on the wall. Since then four others have joined their brothers in sacrifice.
In the words of Vivian Eney Cross, the widow of a police officer killed in the line of duty, the memorial wall is inscribed:
“It is not how these officers died that made them heroes, it is how they lived.”
Made in America: Nearby Dover AFB is home to the Air Mobility Museum which highlights military aviation through exhibits and a collection of aircraft on display. https://amcmuseum.org

After the Battle of Yorktown, Ben Franklin said “the War of Revolution has been won but the War for Independence is yet to be fought”. Less than 30 years later Britain was engaged in war with France and distrustful of American expansion. Needing to supplement its naval forces, Britain began to stop American merchant ships on the open seas and impress (force into service) sailors into the Royal Navy believing that anyone born in Britain was still British and subject to the Crown. The United States finally declared war on Britain following blatant seizures of ships and sailors within sight of American shores.
British vessels blockaded the Delaware and Chesapeake Bays in an effort to disrupt shipping patterns and supply lines. But when crews attempted to land at Lewes for supplies they were repelled by militia.
The British retaliated with heavy cannon fire from the British ships and rockets. With a large fortification stretching along the canal, local volunteers prevented the British from advancing here with these cannons. The fort in Lewes closed in 1815, immediately after the war.
Also in the area: Next door is Cannonball House, a maritime museum that still has a cannonball from the blockade lodged in its foundation. https://bit.ly/2OdO11Q The US Lightship Overfalls (http://www.overfalls.org), is one of seven surviving lightships in the United States is moored in Lewes.
Dogfish Head Brewery (http://www.dogfish.com)’ is an original brewpub located on Rehoboth Ave. in nearby Rehoboth Beach. The Avenue is also home to two Khor Brother’s Frozen Custard shops still serving the uniquely East Coast frozen treat since 1919. You can find them at kohrbros.com

GPS: 39.754435, -75.547503
Access: 24/7. Two photos required.
Located in Brandywine Park, surrounded by trees giving an almost jungle feel to the setting is Wilmington’s Vietnam War memorial. A soldier stands atop a cobblestone hill carrying the body of one of his brothers killed in action.
Hauntingly striking in its portrayal of the anguish felt by the soldier who lives while his friend does not, the statue dedicated to all Delawareans who served in Vietnam reminds us that no one is untouched in a war in which “All gave some, some gave all.”
Made in America: Also in the park is the African American Medal of Honor Recipients Memorial paying tribute to African American warriors from all wars.
The Air Mobility Command Museum in nearby Dover (http://amcmuseum.org), or the American Helicopter Museum (https://bit.ly/2u3eckV) just over the state line in West Chester, Pennsylvania feature exhibits and aircraft displays for the aviation enthusiasts riding the Tour.
Two towns over, the Twin Lakes Brewing Company in Newport features local handcrafted beer with tours and tastings every Saturday from 12Noon-4PM. https://bit.ly/2S1oiut
Instructions: Take a photo similar to the one above, along with rider flag and motorcycle. Refer to http://bit.ly/Rules_5-7 for photo verification. Scorers have final say whether standards are met.

82nd Airborne Monument
Park of Palms
Edwards Dr. & Lee St.
Fort Myers, Florida
GPS: 26.646779, -81.868869
Access: 24/7
Parking is available along the street next to the memorial, with no ADA issues.
The 82nd Airborne Division is an active duty airborne infantry division of the United States Army. It specializes in parachute assault operations into denied areas. Based at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, the 82nd Airborne Division is the primary fighting arm of the XVIII Airborne Corps.
The monument is dedicated to all paratroopers and glider men, living and deceased, who have served during peace or war in the Armed Forces of the United States. Naples (FL) sculptor Andrew McGowan cast and donated the bronze statue of the paratrooper, with the formal dedication made in 1983.
Made in America: This area is famous for its Cuban sandwiches, “the play of roast pork against sweet ham, the twang of mustard and pickles, the pressed bread that shatters into a spray of tiny crumbs -- all of it held together with gooey Swiss cheese,” as written by local food critic Jean La Boeuf. A couple of places to try: Kings Kitchen at 215 W First St. and Casa Rojas Cuban Bakery & Café at 728 Pine Island Rd. SW
Instructions: Take a photo similar to the one above, along with rider flag and motorcycle. Refer to http://bit.ly/Rules_5-7 for photo verification. Scorers have final say whether standards are met.

GPS: 27.495083, -80.300321
Museum access: Tuesday-Saturday 10AM-4PM, Sunday 12PM-4PM. Photo can be taken through the fence if visiting outside museum hours.
The entrance to the National Navy SEAL Museum is guarded by the statue of the Naked Warrior, which specifically portrays the elite men of the U.S. Navy’s Underwater Demolition Teams of World War II. These men went into battle equipped only with swim fins, face mask, and a slate board with a lead pencil on which to record intelligence gathered. Their only weapon was a K-Bar knife.
The statue also stands in honor of all maritime commando units that have provided legacy capabilities still resident in today’s U.S. Navy SEAL Teams. Several of these legacy units received basic or advanced schooling at Amphibious Training Base (ATB) Fort Pierce, beginning as early as February 1943 in proximity of where the National Navy SEAL Museum now stands.

Veterans Memorial Wall and Eternal Flame
1145 East Adams St.
Jacksonville, Florida
GPS: 30.324398, -81.640288
Access: 24/7, illuminated but use caution after dark.
The Veterans Memorial Wall is located adjacent to the Jacksonville Municipal Stadium in downtown Jacksonville, Florida. The quarter-million dollar monument was dedicated in November, 1995 and serves as a tribute to more than 1,500 Jacksonville area American war heroes. The outdoor memorial was promoted as “the only wall that honors veterans from all six branches” (Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Coast Guard and Merchant Marine). The 65 foot-long black granite monument contains the names of servicemen and women from World War I through Operation Desert Storm and the current war on terrorism.
The Wall is the site of the city’s Memorial Day ceremony, when any local servicewoman and serviceman who lost their lives in the prior year are honored and their names added to the obelisque.
When the Wall was built, it was located just eight feet from the exterior wall of the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Coliseum, and extraordinary measures were taken to protect it when the Coliseum was demolished in 2003. When all of the debris was removed and the site restored to grade, the Memorial was surrounded by a 2-acre walking park.

Key West, Florida
GPS: 24.557496, -81.787989
Access: 24/7, parking available along Jose Marti Dr.
Dedicated in 2014, this park contains memorials to each of the conflicts that America has faced over the years. There are memorials to Korea, Afghanistan, and a photo-etched wall dedicated to Vietnam. The different sections of the park combine to create an impressive tribute to all Key West veterans.
In 2016, the Forgotten Soldier Memorial was unveiled in remembrance of Key West’s African-American residents who served in the Union’s 2nd South Carolina infantry regiment during the Civil War. (Key West was held by Union forces throughout the war). There is also a memorial to Confederate soldiers and sailors nearby.
Made in America: Don’t forget the keepsake photo of your bike at the buoy at South and Whitehead Sts.

At the time of this writing, the Veterans Memorial Center/Museum is in the midst of an expansion. The original small center is still open and accessible to the public (free), but it is likely that the new center will be available to enjoy by the start of the TOH season. The outside static display is impressive, consisting of a multitude of military vehicles and weaponry, along with many memorials surrounding the central court.
Also in the memorial court is the WWI ‘Dixie Doughboy’ statue, for those participating in the ‘Searching for the Lost Generation’ challenge.

At the time of this writing, the Veterans Memorial Center/Museum is in the midst of an expansion. The original small center is still open and accessible to the public (free), but it is likely that the new center will be available to enjoy by the start of the TOH season. The outside static display is impressive, consisting of a multitude of military vehicles and weaponry, along with many memorials surrounding the central court.
Also in the memorial court is the WWI ‘Dixie Doughboy’ statue, for those participating in the ‘Searching for the Lost Generation’ challenge.

Veterans Memorial Park
4584 Old Hwy. 76
Blue Ridge, Georgia
GPS: 34.870721, -84.305137
Access: 24/7
This well-executed park has a UH-1 Helicopter bearing the insignia of the 1st Cavalry Division; several stone memorials bearing the names of those KIA from Fannin County; bronze sculptures and a number of historical quotes from notables ranging from Gen. Douglas MacArthur to William Shakespeare.
Made in America: For lunch or dinner, try Mike’s Trackside BBQ, 3950 E First St. a block or so from the Memorial.
Some of the best motorcycling roads in Georgia are nearby. For riders not familiar with the area, one suggestion is to follow Old Hwy 76 east towards Morganton, Georgia, and then take Hwy 60 to Dahlonega, by way of Sucches, Georgia (about 45 miles Morganton-Dahlonega). Hwy 60 is one of the best roads in North Georgia.
Another suggestion is ride east to Blairsville and then take Hwy 129 south. About 10 miles south of Blairsville take Hwy 180 southwesterly towards Sucches and then on to Dahlonega. Georgia Hwy 180 rivals the nationally-known motorcycle road, “The Dragon” in curves and technical riding. With neither the hype nor the sometimes frenzied “racers” plying “The Dragon,” Hwy 180 is in many ways a superior ride, according to some.

Follow Me! Infantry Soldier
National Infantry Museum and Soldier Center
1775 Legacy Way
Columbus, Georgia
GPS: 32.389269, -84.955309
Access: 24/7
Fort Benning has been the home of Army Infantry since 1918. Starting with Basic Training, raw recruits are trained to be soldiers and then receive advanced infantry training here at Fort Benning. The Army’s Airborne School is here, as well as the Army’s Ranger School.
Located outside the entry gate to Ft. Benning, is the recently opened National Infantry Museum & Soldier Center. The museum opened in 2009 and includes informative historical displays, an IMAX Theater, and Combat Simulators which will give you a taste of the training soldiers receive at Fort Benning. There is plenty to see and do here, so try to spend at least a couple of hours visiting the museum. You’ll be glad you did!
Museum hours: 9AM-5PM Tuesday-Saturday, 11AM-5PM Sunday. Closed Mondays, Memorial Day and 4th of July. Free admission, though a $5 donation is suggested. The Infantry Soldier statue is located outside the museum, so you should be able to access it during off-hours.
Made in America: Next door, you’ll find Ranger Joe’s, a military and law enforcement supply store open to the public. It’s a favorite place to browse and shop for all things tactical. Not a surplus store, everything is first rate and up to date.

Memorial Park
S. Orange Edwards Blvd. & W King St.
Kingsland, Georgia
GPS: 30.799682, -81.691439
Access: 24/7, illuminated at night
This beautiful park serves as a tribute to all who served in the military, and to those who lost their lives to protect our freedom. At the front of the park is an illuminated flag pole standing in a circular plaza around which are stone panels, one dedicated to each branch of the service and upon which are photos of scenes from the respective branch.
Behind the plaza is a brick pathway circling the tree-lined grassy area of the rest of the park. Along this pathway are individual statues dedicated to each branch of the service. There’s a soldier on patrol statue for the Army. A proud Marine, standing tall at attention, captures the essence of the Marines. A sailor in dungarees and peacoat represents the Navy. A determined-looking fighter pilot represents the Air Force. And a finally, a Coast Guardsmen standing ready to put to sea on a rescue mission.
Made in America: There are a number of restaurants to choose from within a few blocks. In the Memorial Park, there are several tree-shaded picnic tables, so consider grabbing a sandwich and taking a lunch break.

Veterans Wall of Honor
101 Lake Dow Rd.
McDonough, Georgia
GPS: 33.442637, -84.119568
Access: 24/7
“The willingness of which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified, shall be directly proportional as to how they perceive the veterans of earlier wars were treated and appreciated by their nation.” -- George Washington
The dramatic Veterans Wall of Honor sits on a 2.5 acre hilltop site in the historic Heritage Park. Standing before the Veterans Wall of Honor one is struck by the beauty of not only the wall and memorial, but also of the entire scene, especially when visited in the early morning or late afternoon hours when the sun is low and the light golden. The memorial contains the flags of all fifty states and flags of the five branches of the military. The wall from left to right contains etched scenes of major wars and battles beginning with the Revolutionary War all the way to the Iraq and Afghanistan. Each section of the wall contains a quote such as the one above, along with the etched scenes.
Opposite the Veterans Wall is the POW/MIA tribute. “A more intimate and quiet setting, the POW/MIA tribute allows for reflection and remembrance. [The POW/MIA tribute] stands where it does to commemorate those who were captured and have returned, and to symbolize those who have been lost in action serving our military, yet who remain in the memories of their families and comrades”.
Made in America: Located in the same park as the Veterans Wall of Honor is the Historical Military Museum located in the red barn at the Heritage Village. http://bit.ly/2QUmBzH
Routing suggestion: If you’re riding between the McDonough and Watkinsville TOH sites, plug in Monticello and Madison, Georgia as waypoints. This routing will avoid some of the worst traffic in the Atlanta Metro Area and provides a pleasant ride through farmlands and the Chattahoochee National Forest. From Monticello to Madison, Highway 83 is the road to take. Highway 83 offers another pleasant ride featuring light traffic, farms, ranches and orchards.
In Madison, there are several cafes and restaurants to choose from. On main street in Madison, the Perk Avenue Cafe serves breakfast and lunch. https://perkave.com
Another place for lunch or dinner is right across the street, the Chop House Restaurant. http://bit.ly/3adM2UI

The “Mighty Eighth” became part of the newly-formed U.S. Air Force in 1947 when the Air Force separated from the Army to become it’s own independent branch of the military. Still in existence, the Eighth Air Force has served in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Inside the Mighty Eighth Air Force Museum you will find exhibits on the rise of Nazi Germany, what it was like to fly a B-17 and B-24, POW experiences, and numerous personal items donated to the museum. There is also a B-17 Flying Fortress, the “City of Savannah.” This is an excellent museum and well worth planning a couple of hours to visit. You’ll be glad you did!
Museum hours: Seven days a week 0900-1700, but the F-4 above, next to the parking area, should be accessible during non-business hours.
McDonnell Aircraft designed and built the F-4 Phantom in the early 60’s. It became one of the most successful fighters ever built and was flown by the United States Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps as well as many foreign countries. In Vietnam, the F-4 fulfilled both fighter and fighter-bomber roles, scoring 277 aerial combat victories. The aircraft weighed 38,352 pounds with a max bomb load of 16,000 pounds. At 40,000 feet the F-4 was capable of flying at over 1,400 mph.
Made in America: Savannah is one of the most picturesque cities in the South. In and around the waterfront there are so many hotels/motels/restaurants to choose from that you can surely find one to your liking. Suffice to say, whatever your lodging and restaurant preference, you’ll find it here along the Savannah waterfront, from fast food to fine dining, making it a good overnight choice.

Georgia Lightkeepers
101 12th St.
St. Simons, Georgia
GPS: 31.134045, -81.393443
Access: 24/7
The St. Simons Lighthouse and adjoining museum pay a fitting tribute to the light keepers who faithfully guided mariners for nearly 150 years on St. Simons Island.
For 143 years, beginning in 1810 when the first light house was built on the southern tip of St. Simons Island, light keepers kept watch and the light burning to guide shipping into the St. Simons Sound. During the Civil War, with US Naval forces blockading the southern coast, the Confederate government destroyed the original lighthouse in 1862 to prevent it from falling into Union hands during a Union raid. The current lighthouse and keepers cottage were built after the Civil War in 1872. According to some, the Lighthouse is reputed to be haunted by the ghost of light keeper Frederick Osborne, who was killed in a duel with assistant keeper John Stephens in early March 1880.
The St. Simons Lighthouse is still fully operational, though without the light house keeper, as the lighthouse was fully automated in 1953. The lighthouse is now part of a navigational range consisting of two range lights and the lighthouse. By keeping the lighthouse between the two range lights mariners know they are in the channel leading into the St. Simons Sound.
Made in America: Visit The Lighthouse Museum, located next to the lighthouse. Climb the steps to the top of the lighthouse for a terrific view of St. Simons. http://saintsimonslighthouse.org
BBQ lovers won’t go wrong with Southern Soul Barbeque, built in a former gas station and featured on the Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.http://bit.ly/3862Omw
Ride suggestion: When traveling north and south between Savannah and St. Simons consider riding Georgia Coastal Highway 17. Highway 17 is a scenic and interesting alternative to Interstate 95. The northern portion of Highway 17 travels through small towns and farmlands while the southern portion travels through the salt marshes.
Darien, Georgia is a nice stopping point along Highway 17 for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Skipper’s Fish Camp, http://skippersfishcamp.com, overlooks the Darien River and is right around the corner. Try the crispy flounder.

“Wild Weasel” F-105s
Helton Howland Memorial Park
2853 US 78
Tallapoosa, Georgia
GPS: 33.73782, -85.26485
Access: 7AM-7:30PM
The Republic F-105 Thunderchief was a supersonic fighter-bomber used by the United States Air Force. The Mach 2 capable F-105 conducted the majority of strike bombing missions during the early years of the Vietnam War; it was the only U.S. aircraft to have been removed from combat due to high loss rates.
Originally designed as a single-seat, nuclear-attack aircraft, a two-seat Wild Weasel version was later developed for the specialized Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD) role against surface-to-air missile sites. The F-105 was nicknamed the “Thud” by its crews because of the sound the heavy plane made upon landing.
View the two F-105s from different angles, proudly displayed as if they are flying through the valley. Numerous authentic military vehicles and aircraft on display at this park. Apparently it’s a well-known location for rock hunting as well. So if you or your family paints rocks, hides them, trades them out or just like the revitalized past time, be sure to keep your eyes out for a hidden gem.

Of the memorial’s 16 names of soldiers who died in World War II, 14 were of Japanese ancestry, pointing out the diversity of the American military at that time.

Take along a swimsuit for the tame waters in front of any beach resort hotel (all beaches in Hawaii are public). As with other remote parking lots on the islands, lock up valuables or take them with you.

Punchbowl Cemetery
2199 Puowaina Dr.
Honolulu, Hawaii
GPS: 21.311724, -157.845006
Access: 24/7
This ancient warrior cemetery, located in a volcanic crater overlooking Honolulu, was once the site of secret royal burials and where offenders of polynesian taboos were sacrificed. It is now the resting place of some 33,230 U.S. military veterans, many in unmarked graves dated December 7, 1941.
The Honolulu Memorial is built high on a wall of the crater and overlooks the cemetery, consisting of several elements. A wide staircase extends from the floor of the crater to the “Court of Honor.” Flanked on both sides of the staircase are ten “Courts of the Missing” that include over 28,000 etched names of soldiers MIA from World War II, the Korean Conflict and the Vietnam War. At the base of the staircase is the following inscription: “IN THESE GARDENS ARE RECORDED THE NAMES OF AMERICANS WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN SERVICE TO THEIR COUNTRY AND WHOSE EARTHLY RESTING PLACE IS KNOWN ONLY TO GOD.”
From the Court of Honor rises Columbia, a 30’ tall female figure, symbolizing the figurehead on the bow of a naval vessel. Beneath her is the inscription, “THE SOLEMN PRIDE THAT MUST BE YOURS TO HAVE LAID SO COSTLY A SACRIFICE UPON THE ALTAR OF FREEDOM.” Those were the words of Abraham Lincoln told to a mother of five sons lost in the Civil War.
Directly behind Columbia is a nondenominational chapel, open to the public at all times. On both sides of the chapel are 12 stunning map panels, representing ten of the major Pacific Theatre battles during World War II, plus one for the Korean Conflict and another for the Vietnam War. Each panel measures approximately 4’ wide and 10’ tall and is made of tile mosaics and crushed glass. Alongside the panels are etched marble history lessons. Brigadier General Jerome Hagen (USMC-Ret.), who teaches military history at the nearby Hawaii Pacific University, brings students here for lectures.
If all that isn’t enough, take a walk up a nearby path to an overlook of Pearl Harbor, Honolulu, Waikiki and Diamond Head. The path is lined with dozens of plaques, each one dedicated to different branches of service, war engagements and fighting groups.

War Memorial
1194 Auloa Rd.
Kailua, Hawaii
GPS: 21.374562, -157.780672
Access: 24/7. Park behind the memorial for photo.
The memorial is identified as a large boulder at the corner of this intersection, slightly elevated off the main road. The display of the American and MIA/POW flags are also good indicators of the location. Bike parking is recommended adjacent to the memorial and is NOT advised directly in front of the memorial due to traffic.
The memorial commemorates the residents of Winward, Oahu who gave their lives during World War II. The memorial was dedicated on 28 March, 1946 by Mr. Earl M. Finch of Hattiesburg, Mississippi.
After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, over 1,000 Nisei (American children of Japanese parents) of the Hawaiian National Guard were sent to the US mainland where they became the 100th Infantry Battalion. In early 1943, they were sent to train at Camp Shelby in Hattiesburg, along with members of the 442nd Infantry Regiment, also made up of Nisei soldiers. The soldiers weren’t welcome at the local USO canteen and were generally mistrusted by the local population. Mr. Finch was sympathetic to their plight and started inviting them to his house, and organized the Aloha Canteen, the only USO canteen for Japanese-American soldiers. He would also write letters to Nisei soldiers deployed in Europe, and would visit the families of Nisei soldiers killed in combat. After the war, he relocated to Honolulu, Hawaii.
In addition to the memorial, are tiles dedicated to the ones who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom during Iraq and Afghanistan wars (2004-2012).

Iwo Jima Memorial
Marine Corps Base Hawaii
Terminus of Hwy. H3
Kaneohe, Hawaii
GPS: 21.436256, -157.757380
Access: Base rules and attitude may change on a daily basis and restrict access to this site. Some leeway will be given for verification (there’s parking next to the guard shack that has a view of the memorial).
This Marines memorial is at the entrance to the Marine Corps Base-Hawaii (MCBH) and has stunning views of the bay and mountains to the west. It is a replica of the Joe Rosenthal-inspired memorial in Newington, Connecticut, and is slightly different from the memorials in Arlington, Virginia and Harlingen, Texas.
Contrary to popular belief, the flag raising on Mt. Suribachi didn’t signal victory over the Japanese that day, but was an important rallying symbol that brought the hard-fought victory 31 days later.
The memorial holds a special place in Hawaiians’ hearts since Oahu is one of three places that Marines trained for the taking of Mt. Suribachi on Iwo Jima. The other two places were the islands of Maui and Guam.

USS Arizona Memorial
1 Arizona Memorial Place
Pearl Harbor, Hawaii
GPS: 21.3648,-157.9499
Access: 7A-5PM. Two photos required. Order free tickets ahead of time at https://www.nps.gov/valr/
On December 7, 1941, during a surprise attack by the Imperial Japanese Navy, four of the eight largest U.S. naval battleships were sunk in Pearl Harbor. The other four suffered major damage. Eight other naval vessels were sunk or badly damaged. 188 aircraft were destroyed at nearby airfields. 2,402 people died, 1,247 were wounded.
Two of the battleships, one being the USS Arizona, still lie on the bottom along with the 1,177 bodies of sailors caught below deck that day.
In spite of all that’s been written about Pearl Harbor, nothing comes close to a visit in person to this world-renowned memorial and Hawaii’s largest tourist attraction. Anyone with the slightest interest in military history should make a trip here at least once.
Pick up your ticket and then board the Navy tender that ferries visitors to the monument straddling the USS Arizona. Once there, visitors are free to walk about, take in the exhibits, smell the still-leaking fuel after 65 years, and talk with the docents. One elderly docent claims, “It’s the best job I’ve ever had and I don’t get paid for it.”
One story is about what happened when a Pearl Harbor survivor passed away. The family is given the option of a military ceremony on the memorial complete with 21-gun salute. If the honoree was cremated, a team of two Navy divers hold the urn aloft for a last chance for the family to see it, then dove down to place it into the ship’s hold, a permanent resting place alongside his comrades. Ask the docents about the baby’s ashes interred on the nearby USS Utah. Or about the outdated anti-aircraft guns that caused so many civilian casualties. So many stories....
Get there early because the tours fill up fast. Also includes an excellent video program on the events leading up to December 7 and how the surprise attack shook America to it’s core. An auditory tour is available, narrated by Ernest Borgnine. Removal of hats is advised on the memorial site.
Made in America: One can spend hours in the gift shop itself, or visit the many outdoor exhibits around the nearby USS Bowfin Submarine Museum. http://www.bowfin.org/museum
Nearby is a memorial with 52 plaques honoring the downed submarines from World War II, and the names of each of the submariners.
Outdoor exhibits include examples of torpedoes used in the war, including steam-driven, electric, harpoon and missile-torpedos.

Access: 24/7, be mindful of pedestrians
In the shadow of Diamond Head, the Waikiki Natatorium War Memorial was built as an ocean water public swimming pool and a living memorial dedicated to “the men and women who served during the Great War (World War I).” The Natatorium swimming venue has been closed to the public since 1979. Presently, there are potential scenarios being studied by the City and County of Honolulu., and the pool remains closed to swimming. For now.
Approximately 125 feet in front of the War Memorial is the Roll of Honor Stone dedicated to service members of U.S and Great Britain military services.

In the shadow of Diamond Head, the Waikiki Natatorium War Memorial was built as an ocean water public swimming pool and a living memorial dedicated to “the men and women who served during the Great War (World War I).” The Natatorium swimming venue has been closed to the public since 1979. Presently, there are potential scenarios being studied by the City and County of Honolulu., and the pool remains closed to swimming. For now.
Approximately 125 feet in front of the War Memorial is the Roll of Honor Stone dedicated to service members of U.S and Great Britain military services.

GPS: 41.277052, -91.196223
Access: 24/7
On April 12, 1862, James Andrews and a band of Union Civil War spies stole "The General", a locomotive in Big Shanty (today called Kennesaw). Andrews and his raiders were attempting to use The General to travel to Chattanooga, Tennessee, in an attempt to damage the Western & Atlantic Railroad linking Atlanta with that city.
After a day-long chase, the spies were stopped just before reaching Chattanooga. Those who were caught, including Andrews and Sgt. John Scott, were hanged. Other raiders, including Sgt. Wilson Brown, escaped from Confederate prison or were exchanged as Prisoners of War. These men were among the first to be awarded the Medal of Honor.
Corporal William H. H. Reddick (1840–1903), was exchanged with other prisoners and later promoted to 2nd lieutenant. He is one of the soldiers who took part in Andrews Raid and not only received a Medal of Honor but is buried in Louisa County, Iowa.

This Freedom Rock shows the Reverend Hitchcock's House, which was a vital stop on the Underground Railroad. As a bonus, the house still stands just to the west of here and has been restored.
You can go visit it and get a feel for the path along the river and basement hideouts the runaway slaves used. Another interesting piece of history tied to Cass Township is that Major Belle Reynolds (the only woman to be officially given rank in the Union army during the Civil War) got her start as a teacher here before marrying and joining her husband in the war...eventually earning an officers commission as a Major after the Battle of Shiloh.

USS Hawkbill SSN-666 “Devil Boat”
US-20 & Hwy Dr.
Arco, Idaho
GPS: 43.634166, -113.296646
Access: 24/7
The sail from the USS Hawkbill (SSN-666) “rises” out of the desert floor in this tiny town. It was no small task establishing Hawkbill's sail as the only known "Submarine in the Desert." But because of Arco's history in nuclear power development, town enthusiasts latched onto the idea, and when Hawkbill was decommissioned in 2001, the Naval Historical Society donated it to them.
Arco, with a population of 1,023, was the site where nuclear propulsion for submarines began. During the Cold War, all of southeast Idaho was a hotbed of nuclear testing and advancements - but because their studies were classified, no one knew about it.
Over the last several decades, some 40,000 sailors trained in nuclear operations at three prototype nuclear power plants in the Arco region. When you visit, you may be met by one of the “docents” who either sailed on the Hawkbill, or worked on the power plants.
Hawkbill's illustrious history was recounted at the dedication by its last commanding officer, Capt. Robert Perry, who with some emotion, told of its 29 years of missions. To his side stood an American flag that once flew from the decommissioned sub.
"I estimate that Hawkbill steamed almost 1.5 million miles," Perry said. "Most of what Hawkbill did on her deployments remains classified to this day, but I can guarantee you that Hawkbill's crews significantly contributed to our country's victory in the Cold War."
The submarine deployed 10 times to the Pacific and six times to the Arctic Ocean, where it joined the National Science Foundation in several crucial studies at the North Pole. Perry described using the sail as a battering ram to break through three feet of ice - a dramatic event that the crew found both jarring and exciting.
Made in America: Pickle's Place is only a stone's throw on the opposite side of the Hwy from the memorial. The menu includes their famous deep-fried pickles and The Atomic Burger comes with an over generous addition of "mushrooms” for obvious reasons. The Deli Sandwich Shop at 119 N Idaho St. makes large Hoagies and deli sandwiches, also very good eating.

“The Right of Passage” WWII Naval Memorial
Farragut State Park
15704 Hwy. 54
Athol, Idaho
GPS: 47.965230, -116.580826
Access: Dawn to dusk. See directions below.
The Memorial "The Right of Passage" is located at Farragut State Park in Idaho's Panhandle near Lake Pend Oreille.
Behind the mast flagpole is a bust known as "Mack," positioned on a base resembling a whale boat, a boat made of steel and holding up to 16 Navy recruits. The recruits were trained to row the boats in unison, learning a valuable lesson in teamwork. Surrounding the whale boat and facing the flags are 29 sets of footprints at attention, commemorating the numbers (in tens of thousands) of men who trained at Farragut. Look closely at Mack’s hair when you visit.
The Brig at Farragut Park is now a Museum and is open from Memorial Day to Labor Day should you have an interest and the time. The Park with camping is available year-round. Note: Farragut State Park is rumored to be one of the most haunted campgrounds in America.

Peace Officers’ Memorial
Idaho Peace Officers Standards and Training
700 S Stratford Dr.
Meridian, Idaho
GPS: 43.5986, -116.38407
Access: 24/7
The Idaho Peace Officers’ Memorial is located on the grounds of the Idaho Peace Officers Standards and Training. The purpose of the memorial is to recognize the sacrifices of those officers who have given their lives in the line of duty for citizens of the state. The memorial provides a place of solace for families of these fallen officers and also honors those who currently serve the citizens of Idaho as peace officers.
Each year after the week of May 15 (National Police Week), groups of people gather together to honor the peace officers who gave their lives in the line of duty: Surviving spouses grieving a lost partner, children missing a parent, older couples who have survived their sons or daughters, brothers, sisters, and fellow peace officers.
Idaho Peace Officers’ Memorial Ceremonies have been conducted at the Memorial since 1995. It is a ceremony that honors the officers who have fallen in the line-of-duty, recognizing the sacrifice of those loved and left behind.
It is important that we, as survivors, recognize that these officers did not die in vain. The people owe a debt to those who have given their lives, and the peace officers of this state want this memory to stay fresh in the minds of the citizens. That is why we must reflect during this time set aside to reflect on courage and sacrifice; and, to assure that their loss will not be forgotten, and the survivors will always be a part of the law enforcement community.
Constructed and dedicated May 15, 1998, the Memorial is designed as a five-point badge laid in a red bricked walkway. The center of the star is the focal point: three sandstone boulders stand proudly within the center of the star.

Peace Officers’ Memorial
Idaho Peace Officers Standards and Training

Meridian, Idaho
GPS: 43.5986, -116.38407
Access: 24/7
The Idaho Peace Officers’ Memorial is located on the grounds of the Idaho Peace Officers Standards and Training. The purpose of the memorial is to recognize the sacrifices of those officers who have given their lives in the line of duty for citizens of the state. The memorial provides a place of solace for families of these fallen officers and also honors those who currently serve the citizens of Idaho as peace officers.
Each year after the week of May 15 (National Police Week), groups of people gather together to honor the peace officers who gave their lives in the line of duty: Surviving spouses grieving a lost partner, children missing a parent, older couples who have survived their sons or daughters, brothers, sisters, and fellow peace officers.
Idaho Peace Officers’ Memorial Ceremonies have been conducted at the Memorial since 1995. It is a ceremony that honors the officers who have fallen in the line-of-duty, recognizing the sacrifice of those loved and left behind.
It is important that we, as survivors, recognize that these officers did not die in vain. The people owe a debt to those who have given their lives, and the peace officers of this state want this memory to stay fresh in the minds of the citizens. That is why we must reflect during this time set aside to reflect on courage and sacrifice; and, to assure that their loss will not be forgotten, and the survivors will always be a part of the law enforcement community.
Constructed and dedicated May 15, 1998, the Memorial is designed as a five-point badge laid in a red bricked walkway. The center of the star is the focal point: three sandstone boulders stand proudly within the center of the star.

A memorial for a pig? Really? When the pig earns $19,000,000 (nearly $200 million in today's money) for the war effort and gets buried with full military honors….absolutely!
King Neptune was raised by a farmers daughter as a 4H project and donated in 1942 to be served at a fundraising pig roast until a local navy recruiter came up with another idea. Neptune was a hereford swine, a breed characterized as mostly red with a white face, similar to that of the Hereford breed of cattle.
Navy recruiter Don Lingle, of Anna, Illinois, decided to auction the pig to raise war bonds. Lingle and an auctioneer traveled throughout southern Illinois auctioning Neptune for bonds going to the battleship USS Illinois which was under construction.
Eventually, all parts of the pig were auctioned; even his squeal was auctioned for $25 on at least one occasion. After each auction, King Neptune was returned to be auctioned again later. High demand for appearances by Neptune led them to travel the rest of Illinois raising funds. The mostly red, with white features, pig was often displayed covered with a blue Navy blanket and wearing a gold crown and silver earrings.
In 1943, Illinois Gov. Dwight Green purchased King Neptune for $1 million on behalf of the state of Illinois. At the same auction, one of Neptune's bristles was sold for $500. Most of the 700-lb. hog's appearances were sponsored by local Elks clubs and King Neptune was a life member of chapters in Marion, Freeport, and Harrisburg.
In 1946, King Neptune died of pneumonia on a farm near his birthplace, two days prior to his 8th birthday.

Veterans Memorial
Maple Hill Cemetery

Fairfield, Illinois
GPS: 38.380163, -88.349209
Access: 24/7
The solemn Fairfield Veterans Memorial is not unlike a local national cemetery, with a white cross for each local veteran who was lost at war.
Made in America: Fairfield is most famous for being the hometown of the "friendly" people and the Shelton Brothers Gang, notorious bootleggers controlling criminal activities throughout Southern Illinois.
During the first half of the 20th century, gang leaders Carl, Earl and Bernie Shelton made Fairfield a household name. Based on testimony of Charlie Birger himself, the Shelton Brothers were convicted for a 1925 unsolved mail carrier robbery of $15,000 and sentenced to 25 years. They were released just a few years later.
After serving their time, the Shelton brothers built a new criminal empire. Based out of East St. Louis, one of the most prosperous cities of its day, they controlled all vice from Peoria and southward.
They met their demise at the hands of the Chicago mob and an insider, Charles "Blackie" Harris. Blackie’s most notable victim was Carl Shelton, the leader, when he was ambushed several miles southeast of Fairfield, shot from his Jeep. Bernie Shelton was killed at his Peoria roadhouse. Earl Shelton moved to Jacksonville, Florida where he became a successful land speculator.
Dining suggestion: The popular Flat Iron Cooking Company whips up some good home-made food at 1411 W Main St.

Field of Honor Veterans Memorial
Nr. 100 Heart Blvd.
Loves Park, Illinois
GPS: 42.314884, -89.046802
Access: 24/7
This is a triple memorial opportunity and one of the state sponsor’s favorites. Located in the Arthur W. Anderson Peace Park, the Field of Honor was conceived as a memorial to honor veterans who served in the five wars of the 20th century. Five vertical columns and eight cast bronze life-sized statues are set before a series of 40 American flags. A small column honors civilian contributions to the war efforts.
Also at this site are a Gold Star Mothers Monument and a Korean War Memorial.

This is a triple memorial opportunity and one of the state sponsor’s favorites. Located in the Arthur W. Anderson Peace Park, the Field of Honor was conceived as a memorial to honor veterans who served in the five wars of the 20th century. Five vertical columns and eight cast bronze life-sized statues are set before a series of 40 American flags. A small column honors civilian contributions to the war efforts.
Also at this site are a Gold Star Mothers Monument and a Korean War Memorial.

It has been documented by the DOD, that as of the present day, there have been over 100 young men and women from Second Street who gave service to the United States Military Forces. No other street of comparable size has had as many men and women render service to the Armed Forces of the United States of America than the 1-1/2 block long street in Silvis, Illinois.
Made in America: 12 minutes to the west is the Rock Island Arsenal which contains the Army’s 2nd oldest museum, with exhibits of more than 1200 military small arms displayed. The arsenal is on Rock Island, an active military installation. As of this writing, non-military personnel must enter the Moline gate and obtain a Visitor Pass. Motorcyclists must observe military installation requirements listed on the website http://bit.ly/36HQYz1. Visit with respect, knowing it’s a privilege to be here. Near the main entrance is a National Cemetery, also worthy of your time.

Vietnam Veterans Memorial
Oak Ridge Cemetery
1441 Monument Ave.
Springfield, Illinois
GPS: 39.819775, -89.662476
Access: 7AM-8PM
The Illinois Vietnam Veterans Memorial, dedicated in 1988, honors the almost 3,000 Illinoisans killed or listed as missing in action during the Vietnam War. The center of the Memorial is an eternal flame supported by five vertical gray granite walls, each representing a branch of the armed services. Radiating from the vertical walls are five polished black granite horizontal walls, enclosed by a low circular wall forming five courtyards. The names of the dead and missing in action are carved into the black granite.
The “Vietnam Veterans Vigil and Memorial Service” is held on the first full weekend in May, with a Memorial Day observance later in the month. A “Christmas Remembrance” is observed on the first Saturday in December.
Also here is the Illinois World War II Memorial honoring the 987,000 Illinois men and women who served in World War II and the 22,000 who gave their lives. Its focal point is a white 22-ton concrete world globe flanked on two sides by black granite walls. Stainless steel buttons on the globe identify major battles, and quotations from military leaders and Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman are engraved on the walls.
The Illinois Purple Heart Memorial honors recipients of the Purple Heart killed or wounded from all wars the United States has participated in. The center of the Memorial includes an eight-foot piece of black granite with an engraving of a Purple Heart on it. The other side of the stone features a quote from William Shakespeare’s Henry V, “We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he to-day that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother.” Two smaller black granite stones to the left and right of the centerpiece of the Memorial feature the engravings of four soldiers.
The Korean War State Memorial honors 1,748 Illinoisans killed during the 1950-1953 Korean War. It consists of a twelve-foot-tall bronze bell, with a diameter of twelve feet, mounted on a granite base. At the circumference of the bell are four niches, each with a larger-than-life figure representing a branch of the armed services. Inscribed on the base are the names of Illinoisans killed in Korea. A carillon system in the Memorial plays brief musical programs at regular intervals.
The massive cemetery is also home to Lincoln’s Tomb.
Made in America: While in the area, there are plenty of other Lincoln-related sites to visit. Keep an eye out for “Looking for Lincoln” signs!

Cenotaph Memorial
501 Maple St.
Winnetka, Illinois
GPS: 42.105183, -87.729456
Access: 24/7
The Cenotaph Memorial is an imposing sight to behold. It’s made of marble on the Village Green, surrounded by a marble exhedra (Google it) and a large flagpole. A cenotaph is an "empty tomb" erected in honor of a person or group of persons whose remains are elsewhere. Although dedicated in 1927 as a monument to honor those who died in World War One, plaques listing the names of those who died in other wars, from the Civil War to the War in Iraq have been added.
The monument also features a narrative frieze telling the story of soldiers in World War One, and an inscription by Dinsmore Ely, a Winnetka resident who died in the war. He wrote this comment in a letter to his family, shortly before he died: "It is an investment not a loss when a man dies for his country."
We suggest getting off the bike to walk around the cenotaph and see the intricate narrative carved in to the sides.
Made in America: Talk about contrast. From small farm towns to a very wealthy suburb on Lake Michigan, you’ll see it all in Illinois. Side roads might include a short blast south on Sheridan Rd. to see the Bahai Temple just as you enter Evanston. It’s an absolutely stunning structure. There are also plenty of small parks along the lake where you can cool off in the shade and enjoy the lake breezes.

Howard County knows how to honor their Veterans. It’s one of the first counties in the Country to fly a POW/MIA Flag at every one of its schools. State sponsor Thomas Southwood warns that riders may be moved to tears by the new Blue and Gold Star Family area and it will be a visit that you’ll never forget.
Another statue in the Park is made of bronze with a pedestal of black granite bricks. His pose is kneeling, but he is not resting. His eyes are focused forward, the direction he seems to be moving. His weapon is resting on his leg, and his closed hand is not in a fist.
The plaque below the statue reads:
"We're Finally O.K.
We went there when we were young.
But died before our work was done.
With friends we tried to rid the land.
Of tyranny and oppression to let freedom stand.
But our time was up so we passed the baton.
To those behind us to carry on.
Now through these years of untold pain.
We know we did not die in vain.
So they put our names upon the Wall.
In honor and memory of those who gave all.
And though we are not here today.
We want you to know we're finally O.K.“
- Steve Ehrlich, Vietnam Era Veteran

Veterans Memorial

Access: 24/7
Howard County knows how to honor their Veterans. It’s one of the first counties in the Country to fly a POW/MIA Flag at every one of its schools. State sponsor Thomas Southwood warns that riders may be moved to tears by the new Blue and Gold Star Family area and it will be a visit that you’ll never forget.
Another statue in the Park is made of bronze with a pedestal of black granite bricks. His pose is kneeling, but he is not resting. His eyes are focused forward, the direction he seems to be moving. His weapon is resting on his leg, and his closed hand is not in a fist.
The plaque below the statue reads:
"We're Finally O.K.
We went there when we were young.
But died before our work was done.
With friends we tried to rid the land.
Of tyranny and oppression to let freedom stand.
But our time was up so we passed the baton.
To those behind us to carry on.
Now through these years of untold pain.
We know we did not die in vain.
So they put our names upon the Wall.
In honor and memory of those who gave all.
And though we are not here today.
We want you to know we're finally O.K.“
- Steve Ehrlich, Vietnam Era Veteran

Blue Star Tribute
Behind Rush Pavilion
1915 Scott St.

GPS: 40.415104, -86.870888
Access: 24/7. Parking is west of site, with a short walk of 1/4 mile. ADA accessible.
Created by artist, Saundra Whiddon, to honor the courage and sacrifice of all parents who from infancy held and nurtured the soldier and now, for the sake of others, must let him go. In the final goodbye, the parents exhibit purpose and unspeakable selflessness.
Full of symbolism, the infant is portrayed as vulnerable and yet secure in the hands of his parents. He is swaddled in the American Flag. The hand of his father lifts him up with determination and purpose; using his strength to hold the head of the infant securely for the entire journey.
The mother’s hand, by contrast, forms a nurturing pose as she reluctantly and slowly lifts her child toward the heavens. The infant is simultaneously emitting a cry of victory and of separation with which the artist hopes to show the ambivalence even the bravest soldier feels when called to war. He clutches the American flag against his chest with one hand clinging to those things that are familiar. With the other hand, he raises his flag toward the Creator showing the courage that soldiers exhibit when they dare to reach higher than others.
Appropriately, a Gold Star Family Monument is nearby.
Made in America: If you’re hungry, stop by and enjoy Indiana's “First and Oldest” drive-In, since 1929. http://bit.ly/39X3XyB The food is wonderful and can get busy, especially when college is in session. If you’re adventurous, try the state sponsor’s favorite burger from the menu, the Duanne Purvis All-American. He says you won’t be disappointed. Plus, they carry the famous Triple XXX cane sugar root beer.

In 2008, this memorial was rededicated to all Veterans who served our country in all wars. Five beautiful statues make up part of this memorial. At the memorial you will also find an American Revolutionary War Honor Roll. History buffs might recognize the name of a good friend of Daniel Boone, Andrew McFadden.
Made in America: Take time to look around at the Historical District of Mount Vernon, this court house is one of Indiana's most beautiful.
South of the courthouse is a World War Memorial Coliseum built in the mid-1920's. Three entry doors signify the branches of military service at the time: Army, Navy, and Marine Corps. During the disastrous Ohio River Flood of 1937, the Coliseum served as a hospital and dormitory for citizens displaced by the flood waters.
Pack a lunch and enjoy a relaxing picnic along the Ohio River in the nearby park.

Access: Dawn to dusk. Follow the one way drive-way to the left for easy parking on lower part of the hill. Cemetery workers are helpful and friendly.
Dedicated to all who served. The pavilion was designed by E.M. Viquesney of American Doughboy fame. It houses a copy of the artist's "Spirit of America", a.k.a. "The American's Creed" plaque. A monument bears Viquesney's name and reference to his service in the Spanish-American War. It is now the site of special observances, such as Memorial Day and Veterans Day.
Made in America: While here, take time to look around at some of the unique family plots. One of them is the final resting place of E. M. (Dick) Viquesney, sculptor of the famous Doughboy Statues. Also just a few blocks away you find one of his iconic sculptures.

Vietnam Veterans Memorial
111 E Forest Ave.
Girard, Kansas
GPS: 37.50978, -94.84193
Access: 24/7
The memorial is a granite replica of the Vietnam Wall, engraved with the names of the 777 Kansans lost in the Vietnam War. The memorial also includes a UH-1H Huey helicopter. These memorials stand as a permanent memorial dedicated to veterans of all military service.
This helicopter was flown in Vietnam by a Kansas pilot and donated by the Department of the Army and Kansas Army National Guard to Girard Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 7479.
Keep an eye out for one of the nation's largest American Flags (30' x 60'). While you can see the flag from your bike, you really must stand under the Big Flag to appreciate its true size, 130 feet high above the Kansas prairie honoring all war veterans.
Instructions: Take a photo similar to the one attached, along with rider flag and motorcycle. A second photo may be required for location and/or safety reasons. Refer to RULES 6-8 (http://www.tourofhonor.com/pages/rules.html#rules57) for photo verification. Scorers have final say whether standards are met.

Merci Boxcar
Veterans Memorial Park
1305 Canterbury Dr.
Hays, Kansas
GPS: 38.87199, -99.30033
Access: 24/7
This is one of the 49 boxcars filled with gifts from the French people brought to the United States in February 1949 – part of the Gratitude Train – a "merci" for the help Americans had given rebuilding France after the German occupation. There was one boxcar for each state of the union, with a 49th for the District of Columbia. Once arriving in KS, this car and its contents were on display in Topeka then toured 120 Kansas towns over a 140 day period. It is now in front of the Veterans Park in Hays.
It was appropriate that these small boxcars were used in the Gratitude Train. The boxcars were built between 1852-1885 and were used to transport America’s Infantry and Cavalry to the fighting front during both world wars. Originally, each car was marked with a 40/8, a symbol well recognized by the troops, as each box car would hold 40 men or 8 horses. Known to be a pretty miserable mode of transportation, the boxcars were usually dirty, provided no seats or heat and were cramped.
At the conclusion of the war a service organization of United States war veterans was formed named after these boxcars, the organization called La Societie des Quarante Hommes et Huit Chevaux, (The Society of Forty Men and Eight Horses). Also known as "40&8" the organization took responsibility for the boxcars when they were received in the US and are still caretakers for most of the cars that remain 52 years later. Many still exist and can be found in each state.
The Kansas Merci Boxcar has a memorial case on one end of the boxcar, which is used to honor the passing of local veterans for a 30-day period.
Instructions: Take a photo similar to the one attached, along with rider flag and motorcycle. A second photo may be required for location and/or safety reasons.

F-105G Thunderchief
Mid-America Air Museum
2000 W 2nd St.
Liberal, Kansas
GPS: 37.038771, -100.952848
Access: If qualifying for a Trophy ride, you must enter the museum to obtain the photo above. Otherwise, 24/7, through the fence, is permitted.
This advanced fighter/bomber, the largest single-seat aircraft in history, was used extensively in Southeast Asia from 1967 to 1973 and served some of the most dangerous roles of the Vietnam War. “Thuds,” as they were often called because of the sound they made upon landing, flew low-level iron bomb missions over jungle terrain and were used as Wild Weasels, clearing out surface-to-air missiles to make way for other attack aircraft. As a result, the “Thud” suffered one of the highest loss rates of the war.
Father of TOH Texas state sponsor, Glenn Copeland, flew 58-1/2 missions in a Thunderchief before getting hit while taking it “Downtown” (Hanoi). LTC Copeland remained a POW at the “Hanoi Hilton” for nearly six years before being released to his family at Lackland AFB, Texas.
Museum hours: Mon-Fri 0800-1700, Sat 1000-1700, Sun 1300-1700, Closed 4 July and Memorial Day. Nominal $7 entry fee, $5 for seniors 62+. A special log sheet is available for Tour of Honor riders.
Made in America: If in the mood, you can practice your motorcycle skills in the parking lot next to the plane above. A peek at Google satellite view will explain.
Visiting the museum is highly recommended, it’s only $6, where there’s a special log sheet for Tour of Honor riders. It’s the largest aviation museum in Kansas and fifth largest in the nation, with more than 105 aircraft displayed.
Instructions: Take a photo similar to the one attached, along with rider flag and motorcycle. A second photo may be required for location and/or safety reasons.

9/11 Memorial
Administration and Fire Training Center
12401 Hemlock St.
Overland Park, Kansas
GPS: 38.90271, -94.68306
Access: 24/7
The heart of the 9/11 Memorial is a 2.5 ton artifact from Ground Zero. It also has granite from the World Trade Center flooring that you cross to enter the memorial. Four panels have the details and timeline of each of the airplanes and other events of the day. The memorial also lists the names of all victims, including the more than 400 first responders who perished trying to save others.
There is an audio presentation on site that explains the design elements and helps visitors understand the significance of the memorial elements. September 10th and 11th are the best dates to visit the memorial because you can see the artifact shadow on the educational panels in the mornings.
ET1 Petty Officer Ronald J. Hemenway was one of the victims at the Pentagon. His parents were here at the dedication ceremony, and when they saw his name, there wasn't a dry eye in the house.
Ronald Hemenway was a dedicated father of two, and assigned to the Pentagon after a stint with the USS LaSalle. He was in his office that fateful morning, when American Airlines Flight 77 plowed into the Pentagon and exploded. The impact killed all 64 on board and 125 more in the Pentagon, and Hemenway was one of the few whose remains were never found.

Access: 24/7
The heart of the 9/11 Memorial is a 2.5 ton artifact from Ground Zero. It also has granite from the World Trade Center flooring that you cross to enter the memorial. Four panels have the details and timeline of each of the airplanes and other events of the day. The memorial also lists the names of all victims, including the more than 400 first responders who perished trying to save others.
There is an audio presentation on site that explains the design elements and helps visitors understand the significance of the memorial elements. September 10th and 11th are the best dates to visit the memorial because you can see the artifact shadow on the educational panels in the mornings.

GPS: 37.704514, -98.740607
Access: 24/7
The B-29 All Veterans Memorial honors ALL veterans, prisoners of war, and the missing in action from ALL conflicts. The memorial is located at the Pratt Airport Industrial Airport, formerly the Pratt Army Air Field which began in 1942 during WWII and closed on March 6, 1946.
WWII heroes who trained at the base included General Paul Tibetts, and Colonel Bob Morgan. A rich history of that era is being preserved. Pratt Army Airfield (AAF) is significantly historic as it was the first United States Army Air Forces B-29 Superfortress station, receiving the prototype YB-29 bomber in the summer of 1943.
The 58th Bomb Wing was the first B-29 combat wing of World War II and engaged in the first long-range strategic bombardment of the Japanese Home Islands beginning in March 1944 from bases in India.

Access: 24/7
American patriotism runs strong in Hamilton County. The Western Kansas Veterans Memorial is a moving tribute to veterans living and deceased from all branches of the military. The area around the flag at the Syracuse Cemetery is dedicated to a Veteran's Memorial Wall.
In 2012, to celebrate the United States Marine Corps’ 100 years of aviation, the Marine Corps Association and Foundation commissioned a painting featuring the images of three men who were famous aviators in the Marines. One of the men has ties to Syracuse. The May 2012 cover of the Leatherneck Magazine depicts Frank E. Petersen, Jr. on the right.
Petersen’s mother, Edythe Southard was raised on a farm near Syracuse. Not much is known about her other than she moved here with her widowed mother and her two sisters, then she attended Friends University in Wichita becoming the first African American woman to graduate from there.
When Southard married Frank E. Petersen, the family moved to Topeka where he worked washing cars and repairing radios. This is where Frank E. Petersen, Jr., was born on March 2, 1932.
Petersen, Jr., learned about radios and electronics repair from his father. He enlisted in the United States Navy in 1950. When he took the entry test, he scored so high they made him take the test again. He explained it as his first experience with discrimination in the armed forces, but not his last.
As the years passed, Petersen, Jr., proved himself many times. He was selected as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps after completing flight training in 1952 and became the first African American selected to be a pilot in the USMC. Petersen went on to fly missions in the Korean War and the Vietnam War. He served in the Marines for 38 years before retiring in 1988. His career had many firsts, including the first African American General in the Marine Corps in 1979, as well as the first black commander of the Quantico Marine Base in Virginia. At the time of his retirement he was the senior ranking aviator in both the U.S. Marine Corps and Navy.

Argillite, Kentucky
GPS: 38.384180, -82.819014
Access: Dawn to dusk
This Memorial depicts two local veterans and Congressional Medal of Honor recipients, Pfc. Ernie West on the top of the wall, who still lives in nearby Wurtland, and Worthington resident Cpl. John Collier, posthumously awarded the CMOH.
West’s citation reads:
“Pfc. West distinguished himself by conspicuous gallantry above and beyond the call of duty in action against the enemy. He voluntarily accompanied a contingent to locate and destroy a reported enemy outpost. Nearing the objective, the patrol was ambushed and suffered numerous casualties. Observing his wounded leader lying in an exposed position, Pfc. West ordered the troops to withdraw, then braved intense fire to reach and assist him. While attempting evacuation, he was attacked by 3 hostile soldiers employing grenades and small-arms fire. Quickly shifting his body to shelter the officer, he killed the assailants with his rifle, then carried the helpless man to safety. He was critically wounded and lost an eye in this action. but courageously returned through withering fire and bursting shells to assist the wounded. While evacuating 2 comrades, he closed with and killed 3 more of the foe. Pfc. West’s indomitable spirit, consummate valor, and intrepid actions inspired all who observed him, reflect the highest credit on himself, and uphold the honored traditions of the military service.”
Collier’s citation reads:
“On September 19, 1950, near Chindong-ni, Korea, Cpl. John Collier, Company C, distinguished himself by conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty in action. While engaged in an assault on a strategic ridge strongly defended by a fanatical enemy, the leading elements of his company encountered intense automatic weapons and grenade fire. Cpl. Collier and three comrades volunteered and moved forward to neutralize an enemy machine gun position which was hampering the company’s advance, but they were twice repulsed. On the third attempt, Cpl. Collier, despite heavy enemy fire and grenade barrages, moved to an exposed position ahead of his comrades, assaulted and destroyed the machine gun nest, killing at least four enemy soldiers.
“As he returned down the rocky, fire-swept hill and joined his squad, an enemy grenade landed in their midst. Shouting a warning to his comrades, he, selflessly and unhesitatingly, threw himself upon the grenade and smothered its explosion with his body. This intrepid action saved his comrades from certain death or injury. Cpl. Collier’s supreme, personal bravery, consummate gallantry, and noble self-sacrifice, reflect untold glory upon himself and uphold the honored traditions of the military service.”
Made in America: It’s a short ride west to Greenbo Lake State Resort Park, 965 Lodge Road in Greenup, to have lunch at the Angler’s Cove Restaurant. Then, with a happy belly, pick one of the three amazing motorcycling routes that the park recommends. 28, 62 miles or 102 miles long around the park. http://bit.ly/3a2O1Lu

On Memorial Day of 2015, the KYNG Memorial was dedicated.

It is a large stone map of Kentucky with names of the 230 Guardsmen etched on it, and is located at the entrance to the Boone National Guard Training Center.

Patriots Peace Memorial

Louisville, Kentucky
GPS: 38.288611, -85.682778
Access: Dawn to dusk. Park at the Golf Academy and walk in, less than 1/8th mile.
Honoring members of the Armed Forces who have lost their lives in the line of duty under conditions other than hostile action, this memorial is dedicated to those who have STOOD THE WATCH and will be remembered for their honorable service to our country. Each year on Memorial Day, Patriots enshrined within the walls of the Patriots Peace Memorial are remembered, and grieving families of sons or daughters are comforted.
As a name is added, a concrete brick is removed and replaced with a personalized glass plate identifying each Patriot and signifying the loss. This void in an otherwise solid wall becomes a portal of light transforming the interior by day and radiating outward at night through each name, as a daily reminder to celebrate the joy of freedom safe guarded by these brave men and women.

Too often, women’s service in the military seems invisible, but not in Morgan County. The bronze statue of three service members honors women of the past, present and future of the military. A woman with a 1940s haircut, skirt and clipboard represents the clerical jobs in the early days of women’s full enlistment in the military. A kneeling woman in combat fatigues, sunglasses, helmet and carrying a rifle faces east. A commanding officer with regalia and ribbons salutes while facing the American flag in the park. They evoke the enormous sacrifices women have made, and are presently making, in military service, said Stephen Tirone, a Marine and artist who created the sculpture.
Made in America: If you want to cool off with an ice cream or milk shake, stop by the West Liberty icon Freezer Fresh Dairy, just a couple blocks NW of here. They also serve fried chicken, burgers, dogs and grilled cheese. http://bit.ly/380FxCM

This Veterans Memorial Monument, considered the largest of its kind in the United States, is a gift from the people of South Lafourche and the Veterans Memorial District. Linton Doucet, a three tour Korean War veteran and Lafourche Parish native, along with a small group of other veterans are the driving force behind the park, which began with the wall and has since blossomed into an impressive display honoring those who have put their lives on the line for our freedom.
It’s a beautiful piece of work, now with 3,000 names etched into a wall of black granite. Names will be added as needed to honor those who continue to give the ultimate sacrifice for freedom and their country. At the entrance, a granite wall reading “Freedom Is Not Free” sets the tone for a walk through documented history. At night, a single eternal flame flickers atop the statement in remembrance. A pathway lined with flags sets the tone for a row of statues depicting women in combat, a mother’s loss of her child….
Other statues usher visitors to the steps of the great wall, willing each person that walks the grounds to stop, pause, and acknowledge. Nearby stands a reflecting pool complete with an ever-watchful golden guardian angel as well as a sailor, a dedication to those that risked their lives at sea. At the pool’s eastern edge sits the Field of Tears, a 300-foot square walking path decorated with 50 images of those lost to war reflected in etched pieces of granite around the inner perimeter of the trail.
Mr. Doucet recalls of the initial idea for the park, “The veterans were dying at 1,200 a day and all we ever had was just a picture in the newspaper with a few words and that was it. I said, ‘Well, we’ve got to do better than that for the veterans.’
“We are proud of what we are doing and enjoying the community getting involved,” he says. “Now, sometimes the school busses come loaded and the kids love to come with a pencil and paper and etch the name of the one in the service that belonged to their family. I always like to tell them, ‘You can say what you want, but every family has veteran blood in them.’”
Whether it’s Po-Boys, fast food or oriental food, it is all available in the local area.
Instructions: Take a photo similar to the one attached, along with rider flag and motorcycle. A second photo may be required for location and/or safety reasons. Refer to RULES 6-8 (http://www.tourofhonor.com/pages/rules.html#rules57) for photo verification. Scorers have final say whether standards are met.

Veterans Memorial
S 3rd & E Maggie Sts.
Leesville, Louisiana
GPS: 31.141442, -93.261298
Acccess: 24/7
The Veterans Plaza serves as a reminder to all its residents of the honor and sacrifices made by our Veterans, present and past. Since it was begun in 2000, the Vernon Parish Veterans Memorial has grown to contain seven stone tablets engraved with the names of many local area veterans.
At the site, the American flag towers above the flags of the five US military branches, including Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines, and Coast Guard, as a POW flag flutters to the side, alone, but not forgotten.
Made in America: Vernon Parish is the proud home of the Joint Readiness Training Center and Fort Polk, the largest military base in the state of Louisiana. The military tradition in this parish is strong and dates back to the 1940s with the Great Louisiana Maneuvers which took place in West Louisiana and East Texas in 1941 to prepare the United States for WWII.
Vernon Parish is proud of its history as a part of “No Man’s Land” along what used to be the disputed border with Mexico. Outlaws and bandits as well as heroes and soldiers made their mark on this fertile soil. Enjoy the historic heritage and hospitality as well as the many outdoor adventures of today. https://www.vernonparish.org

Veterans Memorial Park
Behind 108 2nd St.
Logansport, Louisiana
GPS: 31.972909, -94.00566
Access: Dusk to dawn. 2nd photo required.
The Gordon Cohen American Legion Post 157 and Logansport Veterans Club made a commitment to honor all of our military men and women. This was done with a standing memorial in the Town’s park so that all could see the names of the many Veterans that have served our country so faithfully. The wall was dedicated during a ceremony at the site on July 4th, 1998
The Veterans Memorial Wall began as one wall standing 6’ high and 12’ long with space for more than 2000 plates. Since the Veterans Memorial Wall’s inception available space for name plates was quickly filled. It was necessary to add two more six feet granite walls to accommodate all the requested brushed stainless-steel engraved name plates of men and women that have or are now serving our country. These two walls were placed, and Phase II was dedicated July 4th 1998.
Made in America: If you’re feeling hunger pains, stop at the highly-reviewed Big Zach’s Place at 223 Main St., “Where a bit of the South meets your mouth!” Or maybe try the Sabine River Restaurant at 2200 Main St.

701 Kansas Ln.
Monroe, Louisiana
GPS: 32.511636, -92.054526
Access: 24/7. Museum and static displays open Tues-Sat 9AM-4PM. Free admission.
The Chennault Aviation and Military Museum’s story begins in 1986, when those who trained at Selman Field and their descendants held the first Selman Field reunion. It was there that a decision was made to work with the City of Monroe to establish a repository of Selman Field artifacts and memorabilia. The museum gives honor to all our U.S. veterans, and features exhibits on all wars from World War I through Iraq and Afghanistan. It is privately funded, so donations are encouraged.
Made in America: After the sun sets along the Ouachita River, nightlife rises across Northeast Louisiana.
From downtown Monroe along the Riverwalk, to spots tucked away in the suburbs, locals enjoy all Monroe’s nightlife scene has to offer — from its eclectic restaurants, to socializing at after-hours get-togethers, or, depending upon the evening, seeing a live performance.
For live music, fans jam out to the sounds of southern bands like Doctor Zarr’s Amazing Funk Monster, or the Downtown River Jams concert series held in the heart of the city.
Instructions: Take a photo similar to the one attached, along with rider flag and motorcycle. A second photo may be required for location and/or safety reasons.

Veterans Memorial
Court St. & Railroad Ave.
Plaquemine, Louisiana
GPS: 30.288492, -91.235766
Access: 24/7
The award-winning Iberville Parish Veterans Memorial was dedicated in grand style on Veterans Day, November 11, 2008. It was designed to be a moving monument honoring Iberville veterans, while also reflecting the Parish and its people. This was accomplished through the use of a variety of materials and effects.
The memorial’s hard concrete foundation and walls reflect both the stark reality and harshness of war, and the strength of our military. The four conflict markers of the memorial are reminders of the tremendous human costs of World War I, World War II, the Korean and Vietnam wars. Those markers are set within a water element, making them untouchable and unchangeable.
The inscription on the memorial, etched in bronze, reads simply, “In honor of those whose strength and courage we owe the freedom of this nation.”
Made in America: Plaquemine (an Indian word translated by the French, means “Persimmon”) serves as the parish seat for Iberville Parish. A short drive from Louisiana’s capitol city, Baton Rouge, Plaquemine is bordered by the mighty Mississippi River, pre-historic Bayou Plaquemine and minutes away from the world-renowned Atchafalaya Basin National Wildlife Refuge.
While in town, stop and enjoy your choice of a delicious Po-Boy sandwich, crawfish or other fine Cajun cuisine.

The Bayou Boeuf Veterans Memorial stands in front of St. Lawrence the Martyr Catholic Church, dedicated to the men and women who served in the Armed Forces of the United States of America during times of war and peace.

POW*MIA 9/11 Memorial
Capron Park
Across from 201 County St.
Attleboro, Massachusetts
GPS: 41.937453, -71.294679
Access: 24/7
Located just inside the park’s south entrance in an area called the Veteran’s Memorial Triangle where memorials to every major war from the Revolutionary War are found, is the POW*MIA & 9-11 Remembrance Memorial.
The large round granite slab is a replica of a 3,000 pound millwheel to remind us to never forget, to always remember the suffering & sacrifice.
Embedded in the earth in front of the stone is a section of steel from the World Trade Center. It is placed in a 9 foot 11 inch diameter circle. It’s 40.7 degree angle of rest is the same as the latitude of New York City. There are brass markers in the walkway showing the heading toward New York and Washington and stars for this memorial, Ground Zero and the Pentagon. Another set of markers represent Shanksville, Pennsylvania and Boston’s Logan Airport where the planes departed from.
Made in America: The impressive National Shrine of our Lady of La Salette (https://bit.ly/37Lnktb) or Attleboro Industrial Museum (https://bit.ly/2UduL8o) are worth a stop to stretch your legs.
Then you can grab a chili dog at renowned Tex Barry’s Coney Island Dog at 31 County St.

Vietnam War Memorial
Barnstable Town Green
Main St. & Park Ave.
Barnstable, Massachusetts
GPS: 41.649774, -70.348622
Access: 24/7. There are two similar memorials here, be sure to get a photo of the right one.
Located in the Centerville section of Barnstable on Massachusetts’s historic Cape Cod, the town green is home to several veterans memorials including one of the oldest Civil War monuments in Massachusetts dating back to July 1866.
Also in the park are monuments to Centerville’s veterans of WWII, Korea and Vietnam. (WWI veterans are named on a plaque on the Civil War memorial.)
Inscribed on the Vietnam Memorial, reflecting a time when the country was divided over its involvement in the war is this:
“In memory of all Vietnam Veterans
“This memorial was erected in memory of the young individuals who went to war as kids and lost their youthful dreams, and some their lives, for a cause – freedom and honor – and came back as men with the horrors of war distilled in every fiber of their being and were never given the respect and honor they so dearly deserved from the public or United States government.”
Made in America: The Cape is the site of the National Seashore beaches, hundreds (thousands?) of shops and restaurants. At its northernmost tip is the Pilgrim Monument in Provincetown, the tallest all-granite structure in the United States, and a memorial to the Pilgrims who came to this country in search of freedom. The Cape is home to any number of eateries all along the Mid-Cape Highway (Rt 6) all the way up to Provincetown where the downtown area features food, fun, drinks, and -- of course -- real pulled taffy.

Fishermen Memorial
Stacy Esplanade
Across from 59 Western Ave., on the harbor side
Gloucester, Massachusetts
GPS: 42.610118, -70.670356
Access: 24/7
Erected in 1925 in honor of Gloucester fishermen, this larger than life statue of a fisherman on the deck of his boat overlooks Gloucester Harbor and serves as a cenotaph sculpture – an empty tomb to honor those whose remains are interred elsewhere.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the statue has become synonymous with Gloucester and was raised to commemorate the thousands of fishermen lost at sea in the first 300 years of Gloucester’s history. Today it has become a symbol of honor and remembrance for ALL fishermen who never returned to their homes.
Made in America: Midway between Boston and Portsmouth, Gloucester has a long history with the sea and is worth a stop, even an overnight. Just down the road from the Fisherman’s Memorial at the easternmost point of Stage Fort Park is the Fisherman’s Wives Memorial.
The visitor center on Hough Ave. in the park can provide a list of countless ways to while away a warm summer day, including a sail on the Schooner Thomas E Lannon, ordering chowda at Causeway Restaurant (https://bit.ly/31jwOt5), or maybe raising a pint at the Cape Ann Brewing Co. (https://bit.ly/2OfESpy).

Vietnam Veterans Memorial - A Place of Names
Green Hill Park
200 Green Hill Pkwy.
Worcester, Massachusetts
GPS: 42.279994, -71.784057
Access: Dawn to 10PM. Two photos required.
Spread across four acres is a Place of Flags, a Place of Words and a Place of Names. The Place of Flags flies the banners of the United States and its allies in Vietnam, next to the POW-MIA flag, always reminding us of those who haven’t returned.
The Place of Words displays text from letters written home by some of the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines who died in Vietnam.
The Place of Names (pictured above) is on the far end of the pond, proclaiming the names of each of the 1,546 Massachusetts men and one woman who died in combat or as a result of wounds received while in action in Vietnam or who remain missing.
Made in America: While here, walk to the Place of Words and contemplate the words found in letters written home by 13 Massachusetts servicemen who died in Vietnam. You’re surely going to shed a tear knowing these were some of the last letters these men wrote and knowing they never came home.
Before hitting the road, grab an M&M Donut or Oreo Iced Coffee at Boston Donuts (https://bit.ly/2OiptEZ), or visit Miss Worcester Diner at 300 Southbridge St., the “#1 Diner in America,” according to TLC’s Best Food Ever series.

Crampton’s Gap in Gathland State Park
Nr. 900 Arnoldtown Rd.
Burkittsville, Maryland
GPS: 39.40576, -77.63935
Access: Daytime hours suggested for illumination reasons.
Originally erected in 1896 by renowned Civil War correspondent George Alfred Townsend to honor his fellow correspondents and artists killed in conflict, it became the National War Correspondents Memorial in 1904. The names of 157 correspondents and artists from both the North and South who reported in words and pictures on the Civil War were originally inscribed in tablets on the monument.
More recently, the names of four correspondents killed while on assignment covering the War on Terror were added, Daniel Pearl killed in Pakistan; and Elizabeth Neuffer, Michael Kelly and David Bloom killed in Iraq. They are
… but history’s courier
To bind the conquering years
A battle’s ray, through ages gray
To light to deeds sublime
And flash the lustre of my day
Down all the aisles of time
Also in the area: Burkittsville is famous as the setting for the Blair Witch Project movie, and features attractions related to the movie’s theme.
The town was also in the middle of two battles of the Civil War – Crampton’s Gap and Antietam with many houses remaining just as they were 150 years ago; a walking tour is recommended for the history buff.

Burkittsville, Maryland
GPS: 39.40576, -77.63935
Access: Daytime hours suggested for illumination reasons.
Originally erected in 1896 by renowned Civil War correspondent George Alfred Townsend to honor his fellow correspondents and artists killed in conflict, it became the National War Correspondents Memorial in 1904. The names of 157 correspondents and artists from both the North and South who reported in words and pictures on the Civil War were originally inscribed in tablets on the monument.
More recently, the names of four correspondents killed while on assignment covering the War on Terror were added, Daniel Pearl killed in Pakistan; and Elizabeth Neuffer, Michael Kelly and David Bloom killed in Iraq. They are
… but history’s courier
To bind the conquering years
A battle’s ray, through ages gray
To light to deeds sublime
And flash the lustre of my day
Down all the aisles of time

National Fallen Firefighters 9/11 Memorial
16825 S Seton Ave.
Emmitsburg, Maryland
GPS: 39.694270, -77.326547
Access: Sunrise to Sunset daily
This 40-foot-tall bronze monument, named “To Lift a Nation,” was created by sculptor Stan Watts to honor the heroes of September 11, 2001. The three-times life-size statue, recreates the now-famous photo taken by Thomas E. Franklin, a photographer for the Bergen Record, who captured the image of three firefighters raising the American flag at Ground Zero. “The monument and its flag are symbols of hope and courage for a nation deeply impacted by this tragedy,” Watts said. “It honors a moment in the history of our country and reminds us of the bravery and sacrifice made by our firefighters and by thousands of citizens, from all walks of life, who selflessly serve humankind in times of need.”
Each of the three statues weigh more than 5,000 pounds and were formed from approximately 160 bronze sections weighing between 60-80 pounds each.
The National Memorial Park is located on federal property so changes in security levels may affect visiting hours. Call 301-447-1000 for current information. Visitors will have to present a driver’s license or photo ID at the entrance to the campus. Security guards will issue a pass and direct visitors to available parking.
Made in America: On weekends, the Frederick Fire Museum (300B S Seton Ave.) is open from 12Noon-4PM and features displays and artifacts from Frederick County’s fire rescue history.
The Ott House Pub (5 W Main St.) has the area’s best wings.

Desert Storm Memorial
Nr. 7497 Baltimore Annapolis Blvd.
Glen Burnie, Maryland
GPS: 39.163151, -76.622673
Access: 24/7
Located behind the “Welcome to Glen Burnie” town arch, the Desert Storm Memorial is dedicated to Sgt Ronald Randazzo and the men and women of Desert Storm 1991.
The first of seven Marylanders who died in Desert Storm, Sgt Randazzo and two others were killed in the first ground battle of the invasion resulting in the liberation of Kuwait from Iraqi forces. The Battle of Wadi Al-Batin was a feint designed to make the Iraqi Republican Guard believe the coalition forces would attack from the Wadi while in reality they were approaching from the Iraqi west flank to the northwest. While the battle was a victory for the Iraqis, the casualties suffered at the Wadi and the defense of the position allowed the 1st Cavalry and the coalition forces to conduct the famous “Hail Mary” 100-hour ground campaign that freed Kuwait from the Iraqi forces.

Mission BBQ is a top-rated choice for a bite to eat while here. Plus, they’re strong supporters of veterans and first responders.

Four Chaplains Memorial
Old Spring Hill Church
Memory Gardens Ln. & Quantico Rd.
Hebron, Maryland
GPS: 38.429995, -75.673399
Access: 24/7
Although military chaplains are generally not stationed on the front lines, they do often come in harm’s way. Four army chaplains made the supreme sacrifice on 3 February 1943 when the transport they were aboard was attacked by a German U-boat. The transport ship Dorchester was hit amidships by a torpedo that disabled the ship. Taking on water, the captain gave the order to abandon ship and the four chaplains helped hand out life vests to servicemen about to jump into the sea to await rescue. When they ran out of life vests, the chaplains gave up their own so that four other men could be saved.
As the Dorchester slipped under the icy waters, the four men, locked arm in arm, went under as well. Despite being men of peace, George Fox a Methodist Minister, Clark Poling a Dutch Reform Minister, Alexander Goode a Jewish Rabbi and John Washington a Roman Catholic Priest, together gave their lives in war so that others could live. True heroes.

Vietnam Veterans Memorial
State Capitol Park
30 Capitol St.
Augusta, Maine
GPS: 44.307104, -69.779168
Access: 24/7
The Maine Vietnam Veterans Memorial is a group of sharp-edged concrete and steel memorial walls featuring a cut out tableau of two soldiers carrying their wounded compatriot home. A “statue in reverse” walking through the memorial you become one of those to whom this memorial was dedicated – those who served in Vietnam and those whose lives were touched by the war.
None of the 343 Maine residents who died, or the 17 still listed as Missing in Action, are recorded on the walls of the memorial despite continued public debate. The original intent to honor everyone affected by the war instead of the more traditional roll call of the dead has been questioned by some, while staunchly defended by others. Forty years after its end, the war still evokes strong emotions.
Made in America: A visit to the Maine State Museum of Natural History (https://bit.ly/2uSA3vg) is worth a few hours in this “best kept secret” of the state capitol. And an hour at Old Fort Western, taking a guided tour of one of the oldest wooden military buildings in the country still standing, will take you back to where Maine began. https://bit.ly/2uOLx32
Or head to the town of Union, 20 miles away and the Sweetgrass Farm Winery and Distillery where Maine-grown fruits are used to produce wines and spirits. https://bit.ly/2Owvv55

This bronze Jeep sculpture is dedicated to more than 41,000 Maine residents who served in World War II. Nearly 5,000 of them were from Bangor and 110 lost their lives. The driver is a likeness of the museum founder’s childhood friend who was one of those 110.
Nearby is a black granite wall with the names of those Bangorites as well as those who attended the local high school who made the ultimate sacrifice fighting for freedom.
Made in America: The Cole Land Transportation Museum contains displays of land transportation vehicles and exhibits including the world’s largest indoor display of snow plows, as well as fire engines, farm vehicles, snowmobiles, trucks, cars and even a recreated train station. https://www.colemuseum.org

Kennebunkport, Maine
GPS: 43.361518, -70.477111
Access: 24/7
In a circle of flowers and stone, stands the Kennebunkport memorial to their soldiers and sailors who served in the Army and Navy.
Ten years after the memorial was built, it was rededicated to remember those who served in World War I including the one townsman who died in France in 1918. (He was later disinterred and returned to Maine to be buried at the family farm in Kennebunkport.)
Made in America: The Seashore Trolley Museum just outside of town is a time sink of epic proportions for any transportation geek. Trolleys, trams and buses from the turn of the last century are featured in various stages of restoration. A tram tour runs through the grounds and includes stops at the workshop where you can see the current restoration project as well as museum exhibits and the requisite gift shop. Prepare to spend hours wandering the grounds. It’s that good! https://www.trolleymuseum.org

First Naval Battle Memorial
Across from 29 Dublin St.
Machias, Maine
GPS: 44.712027, -67.457920
Access: 24/7
Sentinel against the sea, Machias stands as a lonely coastal outpost defending our shores. In 1775, there was little north of Machias and nothing but ocean until England to the east. Yet upon hearing of the battles of Lexington & Concord, the people of Machias erected a Liberty Pole in support of the cause of freedom.
When the anxiously awaited merchant supply ship arrived after the harsh winter of ’75, bringing supplies in exchange for timber – once used for building English ships but now wanted for building barracks for British troops in the Colonies; it was escorted this time by an armed schooner for defense.
The Captain of the schooner demanded the town remove its Liberty Pole and surrender its timber stores. The town refused and with a tiny sloop, the Unity, chased the schooner into the bay where they defeated her in what historians call the first naval battle of the American Revolution, or the “Lexington of the Sea”.
Made in America: The Burnham Tavern Museum (http://www.burnhamtavern.com) is one of 21 homes designated “most significant to the American Revolution.” The Bold Coast Balloon Festival will be held over Columbus Day weekend for late riders and the Wild Blueberry Festival (http://www.machiasblueberry.com) is held in the warm days of August, (August 14-16). After that, riding the coast roads is the best way to enjoy Machias.

Vietnam Memorial
Veterans Park
Court St. at Filmore St.
Cheboygan, Michigan
GPS: 45.639547, -84.487235
Access: 24/7
Kinetic energy simply put, is the energy an object, or idea, has because of its motion. This is evident in Cheboygan at the Veterans Park. What began one hundred years ago with the planting of thirty-one trees as a memorial to honor thirty-one veterans who fought and died in WWI will transcend within three years into a Memorial Park honoring much more.
Local Vietnam Veterans, along with the support of an entire community, will add to the stunning Vietnam Memorial already in place. They are working actively, and on schedule, with plans for new six-foot wide sidewalks throughout the park, as well as monuments for Gold Star families, Purple Heart recipients, and POW/MIA veterans. Included also is a monument honoring the war dog and his handler. This is a community wholly committed to their veterans.
Made in America: If your visit here is during the morning hours, park in front of Alice’s Restaurant at 116 S Main St. and grab some down-home hearty grub. If your visit is later in the day, Mulligan’s Restaurant, located at 320 N Main, has a lengthy menu of comfort foods, set in a Sports Bar atmosphere. Or try a quenching brew at the Cheboygan Brewing Company at 101 N Main. There’s always room for ice cream and Cheboygan’s Main St. is replete with choices!

Veterans Memorial
N River Ave. & E Genesee St.
Iron River, Michigan
GPS: 46.091302, -88.637534
Access: 24/7
As the result of a project begun in 2009 by a group of concerned area veterans, the Veterans Memorial and Honor Roll in Iron River, stands in recognition of the men and women who gave their lives defending the freedoms we each experience today. Maintained by a monthly rotation of volunteers, it continues to shine like a beacon to travelers down the main street of town.
Five black granite stones, a newly refurbished honor roll, and branch service flags make this visually and emotionally pleasing. Two of these of these stones are unique: the marker to the Cold War and the marker to Nurses of All Wars. The Cold War honors the brave souls who fell in silence and anonymity fighting the common cause of freedom.
The marker to Nurses of All Wars pays homage to the women whom many a soldier owes their life. The inscription below the marker reads, “They gave a piece of their heart; the wound that never heals.” Author Keith Walker tells the stories of twenty-six such nurses who served in Vietnam, in his book “A Piece of My Heart.”
Made in America: There are many chain-food stops and a couple of bar & grilles nearby to whet your whistle if you are so inclined.

Dedicated in 2017, the Ludington Veterans Mall Monument contains one of only two Ascent of Heroism bronze sculptures in our country, the other being in Altoona, Pennsylvania.
The sculpture holds renditions of soldiers from the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, WWI, WWII, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the Iraq War. The photographs used by sculptor, Paula Slater, for five of the individuals portrayed were taken from photographs given her by the descendants of persons who actually fought and died in those wars.
The Veterans Mall Monument also includes a bronze bust by Ms. Slater of Medal of Honor Recipient, Navy Corpsman William R. Charette. Charette was a resident of Ludington and served in the Korean Conflict. His citation can be found here: http://bit.ly/3a3C87M
Made in America: Featuring a one of a kind view of Ludington’s sparkling waterfront, PM Steamers, located at 502 W Loomis St, offers a changing menu showcasing a variety of influences, driven by the bounty of the Great Lakes and local farmers.

Access: 24/7. Wheelchair accessible
Situated in the rolling hills of Michigan wine country, the Leelanau County Veterans Memorial is the result of a simple request: to have something available for folks to visit for reflection, and the result is nothing less than spectacular. Dedicated August 14, 2010 on the 65th anniversary of the end of WWII, the setting includes granite stones inscribed with the names of county residents who have served and died for our freedoms. Encircled with six flags representing the services, this endearing memorial reflects the hearts of all who are serving or who have served our nation.
Made in America: To the west in Leelanau is Dicks Pour House, a stalwart tavern with hunting and fishing décor plus a full menu of pub grub, pizza, steak and seafood. http://www.dickspourhouse.com
To the east in Sutton’s Bay is 5-star rated Boones Prime Time Pub, a cozy, cabin-style spot offering hand-cut steaks and other American plates. https://boonesprimetimepub.com

Veterans Recognition Plaza
608 W Lake St.
Tawas City, Michigan
GPS: 44.266082, -83.521011
Access: 24/7, wheelchair accessible
With the Tawas River as a backdrop, the Veterans Recognition Plaza features a central black granite stone surrounded by six black granite benches. This beautiful park also contains a plaque for Medal of Honor recipient Peter C Lemon. Mr. Lemon is the ONLY Canadian-born US Citizen to be presented the Medal of Honor for fighting in the Vietnam War. He is the eighth-youngest living Medal of Honor recipient. His citation can be found here: http://bit.ly/2R8uzUY
Beyond his heroism (which he defers to three comrades he lost in battle) Mr. Lemon works today as a motivational speaker, is author of the book, “Beyond the Medal,” and is executive producer on the PBS Special, “Medal of Honor.” His book and documentary have been donated to every high school in the United States to inspire American children “to be worthy citizens.”
Made in America: Shoreline Park is just a few blocks north of the Recognition Plaza and offers a stunning view of Lake Huron and a nice place to regenerate the rider. Several restaurants are along the road, as are several quick fast-food stops.

Purple Heart Memorial Garden
Superior Blvd. at Biddle Ave.
Wyandotte, Michigan
GPS: 42.206485, -83.148847
Access: 24/7. Parking is available across the street at Tim Horton’s Restaurant.
The poignant image of a US Soldier caring for his wounded brother in arms is at the heart of this special memorial garden. Wyandotte was the first city in the country to which the National Military Order of the Purple Heart commissioned and donated a monument of this type. Originally dedicated in 1943 as a limestone cast, it was later bronzed with funds raised by residents, local businesses, and veterans groups between 2007 and 2010.
Natalie Rankine, a licensed architect, received the President’s Plaque for the Purple Heart Memorial Garden, which she designed and raised $250,000 for as a volunteer before being hired by the city.
As you visit this memorial in Wyandotte, Michigan’s Purple Heart City, one cannot help but feel the pride and reverence the city has for all of its military veterans.

Still called the “Eagle Veterans Memorial,” the actual hand-carved bald Eagle is now inside the courthouse. If you are there during business hours, stop in and see it! The clerks inside, behind the counters are also friendly and knowledgeable. It doesn’t hurt to let them know that the Tour of Honor appreciates their city’s memorial.
The city of Aitkin has replaced it with a beautiful marble memorial to which the eagle has been “carved” into the center piece. One really has to admire how “small town America” has created beautiful, simple, memorials.

This is a “two-fer.” Photograph the memorial and get credit for the memorial site. Then photograph the Huey at the same location with your bike and flag and get credit for that, too. A “Two-Fer”!
Here is a recent review of the site, “This park contains memorials commemorating each of the wars since WW1. In addition, there are two pieces of military equipment- a tank and a Huey helicopter that was used in Vietnam. It’s a humbling place to visit, as there are pavers listing the many service men and women who were in the military. Overall, it’s a good place to stop and walk around and honor the military heroes who provide us freedom.”
It is a beautiful site with great parking. Memorials are in place honoring veterans from all wars since WWI. Walk around and check it out!

This is a “two-fer.” Photograph the memorial and get credit for the memorial site. Then photograph the Huey at the same location with your bike and flag and get credit for that, too. A “Two-Fer”!
Here is a recent review of the site, “This park contains memorials commemorating each of the wars since WW1. In addition, there are two pieces of military equipment- a tank and a Huey helicopter that was used in Vietnam. It’s a humbling place to visit, as there are pavers listing the many service men and women who were in the military. Overall, it’s a good place to stop and walk around and honor the military heroes who provide us freedom.”
It is a beautiful site with great parking. Memorials are in place honoring veterans from all wars since WWI. Walk around and check it out!
Instructions: Take a photo similar to the one above, along with rider flag and motorcycle. Refer to http://bit.ly/Rules_5-7 for photo verification. Scorers have final say whether standards are met.

Access 24/7
The Freedom Rock by Ray “Bubba” Sorenson II is the first Freedom Rock in the state of Minnesota. If you get the chance, go into the Legion and pick up the brochure which tells the complete story of all of the scenes painted on the rock.
The front side of this rock depicts the Wasioja Recruiting Station that recruited 200 men into the Army for the Civil War. Not far from Kasson, Minnesota in the community of Wasioja, Minnesota is the actual Wasioja Recruiting Station. Take the extra 15-minute ride and see this historical site.
Minnesota is also “famous” for SPAM Luncheon Meats. That too is depicted on the Freedom Rock. During WWII, 100 MILLION POUNDS of meat was sent to those troops. If interested, travel to Austin, Minnesota (Just south of Kasson) and visit the SPAM museum! It’s a fun place to see!
The south side of the rock depicts the story of children who were rescued (airlifted) and flown from Korea during that war.

9/11 Memorial Park commemorates one of the most significant events in our nation’s history. The Marshall Fire Department acquired a beam from the rubble of the World Trade Center in New York City and after years of planning, dedicated the beam in Marshall’s Memorial Park on 9/11/11. This inspiring memorial celebrates our nation’s capacity to survive and overcome adversity and at the same time symbolize the renewal and resolve of a nation which came together that fateful day.
This memorial is a “work-in-process” with more being added to this site. While there, walk into the center of the memorial where the 9-11 beam is. They did a beautiful job there, even adding a statue of a fire fighter.
The 9/11 Memorial is also a gathering place for Marshall’s revitalized downtown and honors the public safety personnel who sacrificed their lives in an effort to save others.

Look for and send in a photograph of the Veterans stone belonging to TOH Rider #206 (Russell Marsolek). If you are the first one to submit this photo, you’ll be awarded with ten TOH poker chips!
Made in America: A couple of neat places to eat here as well. “Del’s Café” right next door, has been there “forever.” On Highway 14 is The Good Sport Bar and Grill. They have GREAT burgers, however the best are their home-made “chips,” better then French-fries or potato chips. Well worth the wait!

Raising the 80’ flagpole and flying the 20’x30’ flag was quite an undertaking, a collaborative effort starting with the Staples Rotary Club. The Rotary Club began a fundraising campaign in 2005 and continued into 2006. Soon after, the flagpole was purchased and put in storage.
Construction on the flagpole began on August 12th of 2009, just in time for the Annual Railroad Days Celebration. The big flag was displayed in the Railroad Days Parade and was taken to the Veterans Park and officially raised for the first time. Construction continued with the installation of the lights for the flag.
This photo was taken from the back side of the memorial which has better, and safer parking.

This 18,000(!) square foot museum is the creation of one man Fred Hoppe. Inspired by his Father, a WWII hero, Mr. Hoppe built the museum to honor those from WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm and other conflicts of the 20th century. He authored the scripts on each of the over 2000 artifacts and displays, and even cut the lumber and siding (70 tons!) on his own sawmill.
Two wheeled artifacts include both a bicycle and motorcycle.
This was the group photo location for the 2018 Tour of Honor Ride to Meet.
Made in America: There is a plethora of things to in this area including great motorcycle roads. A few of the things to do in Branson include the famed Auto and Farm Museum (http://www.bransonmuseum.com) across the street from the Veterans Museum, the Titanic Museum (http://www.titanicbranson.com), Silver Dollar City (1800s-themed amusement park (https://www.silverdollarcity.com), or numerous musical entertainment venues to choose from.

Firefighters Memorial
5599 Angel Dr.
Kingdom City, Missouri
GPS: 38.945453, -91.942688
Access: 24/7
This memorial contains all of the names of the firefighters killed in the line of duty in Missouri since 1838. Originally to be dedicated in 2002, the first praying Firefighter Sculpture was en route to Missouri traveling through New York City on 9/11/2001, when it’s trip was cut short. On September 19th, the New York Fire Department accepted the original as a gift from the Missouri Firefighters to honor the 343 firefighters who died in the World Trade Center. It now rests at 8th Avenue and 41st Street in NYC, probably the first permanent memorial to the events of 9/11. The Missouri Firefighters had a second sculpture cast, to be placed in the spot meant for the original donated to NYFD.
Made in America: Just down the road is the town of Fulton and Westminster College. There in the Chapel (which is open to visit), Winston Churchill gave a famous speech, coining the phrase“Iron Curtain”for the first time. As Missourians, we all heard this speech growing up, because it was said to note the beginning of the Cold War. Outside the Chapel is a large original section of the Berlin Wall. Well worth the stop.
Instructions: Take a photo similar to the one attached, along with rider flag and motorcycle. A second photo may be required for location and/or safety reasons. Refer to RULES 6-8 (http://www.tourofhonor.com/pages/rules.html#rules57) for photo verification. Scorers have final say whether standards are met.

Memorial to World War Veterans
.4 miles west of Hwy. 224
Lexington, Missouri
GPS: 39.183468, -93.891198
Access: 24/7
This Memorial was built in 1925 to honor World War I veterans. Later, veterans’ names from World War II, Korea and Vietnam were added. It sits in a beautiful location on the bluffs overlooking the Missouri River, where a bridge used to be, built in 1924. The bridge was razed a few years ago but the turnout is still there making the memorial an easy place to stop. The steps go up to the very top of the bluff and are level with the town of Lexington.
On a personal note, state sponsor Bob Rippy’s father played in a Boy Band at the bridge dedication.
Made in America: Lexington was the sight of one of key battles of the Civil War in Missouri. There is a Battlefield Park where you can still see the trenches. Also in the courthouse is a cannon ball shot into one of the columns.
Also, if you’ve never had pleasure of eating a MaidRite Burger this is your chance at 1401 Main St. A shake is recommended with your meal.
Instructions: Take a photo similar to the one attached, along with rider flag and motorcycle. A second photo may be required for location and/or safety reasons.

Access: 5AM-11PM
General Omar Bradley has one of the most impressive list of accomplishments of any American General. As a 5 Star General, he commanded the largest Army every assembled, and was the first Chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff. From the nearby town of Clark, he was sworn in by fellow Missourian President Harry S Truman as General of the Army on September 22nd 1950. After General Bradley passed away in 1969 at the age of 88, the rank of 5-Star General was retired.

We'll have one of the largest 4th of July celebrations in Missouri!"

Veterans Memorial Walk
800 Belleau Creek Rd.
O’Fallon, Missouri
GPS: 38.801181, -90.67656
Access: 24/7
No other monument in the U.S. is quite like the Veterans Memorial Walk, dedicated in 2001 as a place to honor all U.S. soldiers, past and present. This site is unique with a platoon of cast bronze boots positioned as though
marching. A solitary pair of boots is stationed at the foot of the POW/MIA flag, and an eternal flame burns
continuously.
Suffice to say this is a stunning monument.
Made in America: Nearby is Fort Zumwalt Park, with the reconstructed home of Jacob Zumwalt, a Revolutionary War veteran from here. These large log structures were used as “forts,” gathering places for protection from raids in the War of 1812. There were seven such structures in St. Charles County. Location: 1000 Jessup Drive W, O’Fallon, Missouri.

Veterans Memorial Walk
800 Belleau Creek Rd.
O’Fallon, Missouri
GPS: 38.801181, -90.67656
Access: 24/7
No other monument in the U.S. is quite like the Veterans Memorial Walk, dedicated in 2001 as a place to honor all U.S. soldiers, past and present. This site is unique with a platoon of cast bronze boots positioned as though
marching. A solitary pair of boots is stationed at the foot of the POW/MIA flag, and an eternal flame burns
continuously.
Suffice to say this is a stunning monument.
Made in America: Nearby is Fort Zumwalt Park, with the reconstructed home of Jacob Zumwalt, a Revolutionary War veteran from here. These large log structures were used as “forts,” gathering places for protection from raids in the War of 1812. There were seven such structures in St. Charles County. Location: 1000 Jessup Drive W, O’Fallon, Missouri.

On the courthouse grounds stands an all wars monument to the sacrifice made by many. No matter the war, the people of this Delta town get the message: join the fight and give thanks to all who serve.
Known as the “Heart of the Delta,” Belzoni mixes crops of cotton and soy beans with catfish, claiming to be Dixie’s Catfish Capital. With 40,000 acres of the town under water, farm raised catfish are a staple of the Belzoni economy. A rich history spans generations of citizens that have served their country in times of need.

The capital of the state of Mississippi has a lot to offer in the way of monuments and memorials: Police, Firefighters, Civil Rights, 9-1-1, and Veterans. Next to the old Capitol Building, the War Memorial Building lives up to its name and is a beautiful piece of art. Done in art deco style, it was originally created to memorialize the end of WWI. While there are additional pieces around and on the inside of the building, the inscriptions on the outside are enough to make one pause to reflect. Take the time to circle the building and view the inner courtyard. It will not be time wasted.

Submariners Memorial
3730 Bienville Blvd. (US90)
Ocean Springs, Mississippi
GPS: 30.408700, -88.767314
Access: Daylight hours recommended. Two photos required. Site is a 50 yard walk from parking lot, behind the Huey helicopter.
In the mid-1960s, the Submarine Veterans of WWII assigned each of the 52 submarines lost during WWII to a State. The purpose was to establish memorials to the dedication of the men and boats now on eternal patrol, yet shipmates all. New York and California were awarded two each. The State of Mississippi was awarded the USS Tullibee (SS-284).
The Tullibee was sunk during a night surface attack in the Palau islands. It was only learned after the war that one of her torpedoes had run a circular course and she had sunk herself. The lone survivor of the attack, Clifford Kuykendall, GM2, was picked up by a Japanese destroyer and spent the remainder of the war as a POW.
The monument stands 14 feet long and 4 feet high, engraved on both sides, and is mounted on a pedestal raising it to nearly 6 feet at the top. In addition to the story of the Tullibee's last run and a list of her crew, the monument also displays:
• The 13 boats built in Mississippi at Ingalls Shipbuilding
• A list of all submarines lost in WWII
• A list of submarines lost other than in WWII
• Etched pictures of a Fleet Boat and a Nuclear Boat surfacing
• The Submariner's Prayer

Tunica is a small town best known these days, for gambling. A grassy median strip rolls through the town and is home to their Vietnam Memorial. Flags of all services are posted and like so many memorials, it has three bronze figures, comrades in arms, assisting each other. Markers at ground level have information not always seen. The breakdown of deaths and injuries is unusual and of course changes from year to year, so to see the historical notes on a memorial is quite interesting.

Tunica is a small town best known these days, for gambling. A grassy median strip rolls through the town and is home to their Vietnam Memorial. Flags of all services are posted and like so many memorials, it has three bronze figures, comrades in arms, assisting each other. Markers at ground level have information not always seen. The breakdown of deaths and injuries is unusual and of course changes from year to year, so to see the historical notes on a memorial is quite interesting.
Take a photo similar to the one above, along with rider flag and motorcycle. Refer to RULES 6-8 (http://www.tourofhonor.com/pages/rules.html#rules57) for photo verification. Scorers have final say whether standards are met.

Vietnam War Memorial Replica
Rockin’ Robin Veterans Park
800 N Veterans Memorial Blvd.
Tupelo, Mississippi
GPS: 34.265952, -88.678241
Access: 24/7
The Vietnam War Memorial replica is 60 percent of the size of the original in Washington, DC, standing more than six feet in height and measuring 300 feet long. Made of black granite and designed in the shape of the letter “V,” a walkway leads to the apex and stretches along the left and right wings of the “V.”
Names of the 58,267 American soldiers killed in action or missing in action between 1959 and 1975 are etched in the granite, listed in chronological order by date of casualty, and are available for name rubbings. In addition, are the names of Mississippians killed in the war, and those names are in alphabetical order.
Twenty-four benches dot the landscape recognizing individuals who served the United States during the Vietnam War. Granite panels pay tribute to others.
The idea for the permanent project spawned from the traveling replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. known as the Moving Wall, a traveling exhibit that had been on exhibit at Itawamba Community College in nearby Fulton. It drew 35,000 visitors during the week it was on display 17 years ago. A group of interested citizens recognized the educational value in a permanent display and banded together to raise awareness and to seek appropriations for this permanent replica.
There are several Moving Walls around the country that tell the story of the Vietnam War and the era surrounding the conflict, giving onlookers an educational experience in a historical and cultural context. The Moving Wall, about half the size of the original one in the nation’s capital, travels across the United States and stops in cities for about a week to offer a viewing opportunity for Americans who might be unable to visit the nation’s capital to see the original.

The memorial honors and recognizes all veterans of all branches of military service to the United States of America, in peace and in war. The central sculpture “The Warrior Angel” was cast by local artist and Vietnam Veteran Marvin Brewster, who for many years before he passed in 2012, headed up the annual Toys for Tots ride, a legacy that is carried on to this day by his wife and daughters.
Made in America: Great Falls is home to the Charlie Russell Museum and annual Western Art Auction. The Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center highlights much of the history of that historic expedition, especially documenting the month-long portage around the falls along the Missouri River.
Great Falls knows burgers! The Roadhouse Diner won the “Best Burger Showdown” for Guys Grocery Games on the Food Network. They also won the “Best Burger in each state in America” for Montana in 2017. Five stars on Yelp, Tripadvisor and Google. http://www.roadhousegf.com
And Two Ks Kafe at 406 3rd Ave. S won the “Best Hole in the Wall Burger Joint in America” in 2019.

River Dr. N & 25th St N
Great Falls, Montana
GPS: 47.517749, -111.261774
Access: 247
The memorial honors and recognizes all veterans of all branches of military service to the United States of America, in peace and in war. The central sculpture “The Warrior Angel” was cast by local artist and Vietnam Veteran Marvin Brewster, who for many years before he passed in 2012, headed up the annual Toys for Tots ride, a legacy that is carried on to this day by his wife and daughters.
Made in America: Great Falls is home to the Charlie Russell Museum and annual Western Art Auction. The Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center highlights much of the history of that historic expedition, especially documenting the month-long portage around the falls along the Missouri River.
Great Falls knows burgers! The Roadhouse Diner won the “Best Burger Showdown” for Guys Grocery Games on the Food Network. They also won the “Best Burger in each state in America” for Montana in 2017. Five stars on Yelp, Tripadvisor and Google. http://www.roadhousegf.com
And Two Ks Kafe at 406 3rd Ave. S won the “Best Hole in the Wall Burger Joint in America” in 2019.

First Special Service Force Memorial
1203 N Last Chance Gulch
Helena, Montana
GPS: 46.599480, -112.030126
Access: 24/7
The monument is dedicated to the First Special Service Force commissioned by President Roosevelt along with Prime Minister Winston Churchill as a joint Canadian-U.S. force of three small regiments and a service battalion. Also referred to as the “Devil’s Brigade,” the 1st Special Service Force was activated on 9 July 1942 at Fort William Henry Harrison, Montana.
The mission of these soldiers was to parachute into occupied enemy territory and destroy crucial enemy targets. Dubbed the “Black Devils” by Germans for their ferocious nighttime fighting ability, they suffered heavy losses but were extremely successful. The memorial features a stone memorial with an encased FSSF flag, and a memorial wall with the names of unit members.
Made in America: Helena lies halfway between Glacier and Yellowstone National Parks. A historical town that has served as the Capital of Montana since 1875, 14 years before statehood. Home of the 1864 Montana gold rush which earned the nickname “Last Chance Gulch.”

Airborne & Special Operations Museum
100 Bragg Boulevard
Fayetteville, North Carolina
GPS: 35.056231, -78.885615
Access: 24/7. Free admission.
Nearly 20 years from dream to reality, the museum has become a place to honor and preserve the legendary feats of the airborne and special operations troops who have contributed so much to defending our nation’s interests.
The doors opened in 2000, the 60th anniversary of the original Test Platoon’s first parachute jump. The museum offers a main exhibit gallery, temporary gallery, four-story tall theater, and a motion simulator ride.
The main gallery is designed as a self-guided tour, in chronological order, through the history of airborne and special operations soldiers from 1940 to the present. The temporary gallery changes periodically and displays a myriad of exhibits pertaining to the United States Army airborne and special operations units through their history and conflicts from World War II to the present.
From the early days of the Parachute Test Platoon to the ongoing War on Terrorism, the Museum recounts the actions of many heroic soldiers, such as one of our own: Fuquay-Varina resident, TOH #19 and Master Parachutist, SFC Jerry Read, 82nd Airborne-Ret.
A War Dog is also honored, outside the museum.

GPS: 35.108536, -77.040744
Access: 24/7. Museum hours are Monday-Saturday, 10AM-4PM. Don’t park in front of driveways for obvious reasons.
Established in 1955, the New Bern Firemen’s Museum is a unique experience. The mission is to preserve the history of firefighting in New Bern, which boasts the first chartered fire company in the state of North Carolina. It contains the history of the Atlantic Hook & Ladder Company and the New Bern Steam Fire Engine Company No. 1 (which later became the Button Company). Here, you can experience the Great Fire of 1922 which destroyed over 1,000 buildings and left much of the city in ruin.
Relive Tour of Honor history! This was the last Memorial stop for Dave Friedrich’s incredible 2018 Tour of Honor, being the first rider to ever complete the lower 48 states with all 307 memorials! There were several Tour of Honor riders there to share that moment with him! It was a fantastic day!

The bronze statue of two children is inscribed, “Thanks for our freedom.” The exterior wall of the Memorial has places for visitors to sit while they rest and contemplate the significance of the sacrifices and contributions our veterans have made.
Made in America: This is near the Calabash area to the west of here, famous for being the “Seafood Capital of the World!” and helped by Jimmy Durante when he’d sign off each radio show with, “Good night Mrs. Calabash, whererever you are.” Try one of the local restaurants like Ella’s, Beck’s, Seafood Shack, or Captain Nance’s, and enjoy some North Carolina seafood!

Veterans Freedom Wall
Nebraska Ave. & Locust St.
Arapahoe, Nebraska
GPS: 40.303556 -99.897384
Access: 24/7. Illuminated at night.
This beautiful brick wall was created to honor and recognize all veterans that have served in the United States Armed Forces.
On the front side of the expansive brick wall are the words “Freedom is not free; it comes with a price” which is highlighted by the raised images of an American Flag and a bald eagle. On the back side of the monument, engraved on over 550 individual bricks, are the names, date and war of every veteran honored from Arapahoe and the surrounding area. The earliest veterans honored served in the Revolutionary, Mexican and Civil Wars.
Located in the heart of the downtown district of Arapahoe on U.S. Highway 283, construction on the Veterans Freedom Wall was completed in April of 2006 by Larson Brothers of Axtell, NE.
The Veterans Freedom Wall is free, open to the public year-round and is lighted for evening viewing as well.
Made in America: Good eats in town would be the Cunningham’s Feed Bakery Grill and Bar. Service is good, food is good, drinks are good, a great place to go. https://bit.ly/2NVXH0C

Strategic Air Command Museum
28210 West Park Hwy.
Ashland, Nebraska
GPS: 41.017720, -96.319731
Access: 24/7 for scoring photo.
A monument to those that make America the most powerful nation in the world, the Strategic Air Command (SAC), at it’s peak, was a global force utilizing long and short range bombers as well as nuclear intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM) to aid in the deterrence of aggression against the United States and Allies. SAC began during World War II as a way to coordinate the heavy bombing and reconnaissance of targets in Germany. The Air Force became an independent branch of the military in 1947 and SAC continued to grow flying various missions during the Korean War, Vietnam and Desert Storm.
The Strategic Air Command Museum began in 1959 at a hangar at Offut Air Base to commemorate the contributions of the personnel of SAC. On May 16, 1998 the museum moved to it’s current location offering a 300,000 square foot building displaying various aircraft that contributed to the mission of SAC over the years. There are also some ICBM’s on display in front of the museum.
Museum hours are 9AM-5PM, $12 admission with discounts for seniors and military veterans. Entry not required for scoring photo at entrance. But well worth seeing anyway.
Instructions: Take a photo similar to the one above, along with rider flag and motorcycle. Refer to http://bit.ly/Rules_5-7 for photo verification. Scorers have final say whether standards are met.

Columbus, Nebraska
GPS: 41.41880,-97.36877
Access: 5AM-Midnight
Andrew Jackson Higgins (1886-1952) was born here in Columbus, and his experience with the shallow rivers in the area gave him a vision for a shallow-draft boat that changed the course of history. Founder and President of Higgins Industries in New Orleans, Higgins rose to international prominence during World War II for his design and mass production of “Higgins Boats.”
These craft gave the military the ability to transport men and equipment safely to beaches during amphibious landings in the war. General Dwight Eisenhower called Higgins “the man who won the war for us…if Higgins had not designed and built those LCVPs (Landing Craft, Vehicle, Personnel), we never could have landed over an open beach. The whole strategy of the war would have been different.” Higgins Industries produced 20,094 boats during WWII.
The memorial includes a full-size replica of the famous Higgins Boat. Running from the boat are sculptures by internationally renowned artist Fred Hoppe, depicting a soldier from each of the three wars in which Higgins Boats served (World War II, the Korean, and Vietnam War). Around the boat are sand samples from landing beaches across the globe where Higgins Boats carried soldiers ashore. Brass stars hold these sand samples from D-Day beaches and are embedded in the concrete surrounding the “Higgins Boat”. This memorial is the only known location in the world to allow visitors to walk on sand from D-Day landings of WWII, Korea and Vietnam.
After 9/11, the Memorial was expanded to honor those who lost their lives on that fateful day and those who continue the fight against terrorism.
This incredible memorial stands as a tribute to a Columbus native son who changed history…to veterans of all eras who have served and sacrificed…to the ongoing fight against the evil of terrorism…and to the power of engaged young people who impacted their community.

Sage Brothers Memorial

Niobrara, Nebraska
GPS: 42.750281, -98.031886
Access: 24/7
On the night of June 2, 1969, while on maneuvers in the South China Sea off the coast of Vietnam, the Australian aircraft carrier Melbourne was in collision with the destroyer USS Frank E. Evans. The impact cut the Evans in two, the bow section sinking almost immediately.
Seventy-four American seamen were lost, including three brothers from Niobrara, Nebraska; Gary, Gregory, and Kelly Sage. The brothers, 22, 21, and 19 years of age respectively, were the sons of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Sage, and had been stationed together aboard the Evans at their own request.
This tragedy was perhaps the greatest single loss suffered by any Nebraska family of the many who have contributed their sons to the service of the Nation. The Sage brothers were only three of the 74 soldiers that perished. Despite repeated efforts by survivors and their supporters, the 74 sailors have not been listed on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington D.C. as casualties of the war.
On Memorial Day of 2016, the townspeople of Niobrara intended to help right that wrong. On that Monday, a pair of black granite monuments, listing all 74 victims of the naval tragedy was unveiled. The ‘Lost 74” twin stones flank the state historical marker shown above, that memorializes the sacrifice of three brothers and their family from this tiny town.

The Canteen Lady
Iron Horse Park
2811 S Jeffers St.
North Platte, Nebraska
GPS: 41.108025, -100.762806
Access: 24/7. Make sure you get the correct photo!
On the east side of the expansive 20th Century Veterans Memorial is the statue depicting Rae Wilson Sleight, the driving force behind the creation and delivery of the canteen services and comfort to the more than 6,000,000 men and women headed for combat or headed home. The North Platte Canteen greeted every troop train from December 25, 1941 to April 1, 1946, with smiles, coffee, cigarettes and sandwiches, during the troops’ 13-minute stop here.
The history of the canteen can be traced back to December 17, 1941. Just ten days after the attack on Pearl Harbor, men of the 134th Infantry Regiment of the Nebraska Army National Guard were on their way from Camp Joseph T. Robinson near Little Rock, Arkansas to an unknown destination. Rumor had it that the train would arrive at 11, but by noon it hadn’t shown up. After another false alarm, the train finally rolled in around 4:30. By this time, at least five hundred relatives and friends of local servicemen showed up at the depot. They brought baskets of fruit, cartons of cigarettes, Christmas gifts and fruit cakes.
The train arrived and the crowd cheered, but the soldiers weren’t members of the 134th. The crowd gave the soldiers the gifts and food that was originally meant for their own sons and wished them off.
The reason the trains were stopping in North Platte was because the town was a designated tender point for steam trains. Stopping the train allowed for the train crews to relubricate the wheels, top off the water levels in the tanks, and other maintenance of the locomotive. This practice continued until the Union Pacific Railroad switched to diesel locomotives.
Of the group of people that were originally at the depot on December 17, twenty-six-year-old Rae Wilson, a drugstore sales girl, witnessed the hospitality. Her brother was to be on the troop train as a company commander. As she walked away from the train that evening, she had an idea to meet all the trains that went through North Platte and give the soldiers the same type of sendoff. The next day she suggested that the meeting of soldiers become a permanent occurrence and wrote a letter to the local newspaper:
Editor, The Daily Bulletin:
I don’t know just how many people went to meet the trains when the troops went thru our city Wednesday, but those who didn’t should have.
To see the spirits and the high morale among those soldiers should certainly put some of us on our feet and make us realize we are really at war. We should help keep this soldiers morale at its highest peak. We can do our part.
During World War I the army and navy mothers, or should I say the war mothers, had canteens at our own depot. Why can’t we, the people of North Platte and other towns surrounding our community, start a fund and open a Canteen now? I would be more than willing to give my time without charge and run this canteen.
We who met this troop train which arrived about 5 o’clock were expecting Nebraska boys. Naturally we had candy, cigarettes, etc., but we very willingly gave these things to the Kansas boys.
Smiles, tears and laughter followed. Appreciation showed on over 300 faces. An officer told me it was the first time anyone had met their train and that North Platte had helped the boys keep up their spirits.
I say give back of our sons and other mothers’ sons 100 per cent. Let’s do something and do it in a hurry! We can help this way when we can’t help any other way.
-Rae Wilson
And so it began....

10th Mountain Division – Optional, NO CREDIT
Mount Washington Summit
Mount Washington Auto Road
Gorham, New Hampshire
Toll road: $17/bike & rider, additional $9 for passenger
GPS: 44.270483, -71.303017
Access: hours are seasonal beginning early May, check website or call 603-466-3988, road may be closed due to severe weather at the summit. You can also check the road status at www.mtwashingtonautoroad.com/current-road-status-weather
NOTE: THIS IS NOT A 2020 TOUR OF HONOR STOP. But we felt it’s worthy of a visit if you’re in the area.
Located at the summit of Mount Washington, the New England Chapter of the 10th Mountain Division placed this memorial plaque in memory of comrades who gave their lives in the Aleutians and Italy in WWII.
The 10th Mountain Division was modeled after Finnish soldiers on skis who managed to stop two Soviet armored divisions during the Soviet invasion in 1939. The US Army with the help of the National Ski Patrol recruited experienced skiers into the Army for this division; deciding it was easier to teach skiers to fight than teach soldiers to ski.
The 10th Mountain were at the forefront of the Fifth Army’s invasion of Italy in 1945 and held off the German army attempting to flee south from the U.S. Seventh Army, shattering German defenses and forcing their surrender in the Po Valley.
Since the 9/11 attacks, the division has been deployed over 20 times in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Inscription: “Many returned to their beloved mountains. Those heroes who did not return are still fondly remembered as Brave Men Whose souls rest forever amid these mountain peaks-- Sempre Avanti”
Made in America: While you’re up top, check out the cog railway and observatory before grabbing a bite to eat in the summit restaurant. If you can wait, the places to eat in Gorham are the Blue Pig Diner (19 State St – open daily, except Wednesdays, until 1:30PM), the Saalt Pub (https://bit.ly/2Uhmlgi) or Gorham House of Pizza (http://www.ghop.me)

Gold Star Mothers Memorial
700 Elm St.
Manchester, New Hampshire
GPS: 42.988239, -71.463772
Access: 24/7
Across from the Manchester Veterans Memorial Park, is a memorial statue of a mother who has lost a child in war – a “Gold Star Mother”. This is New Hampshire’s tribute to New England Gold Star mothers and the sacrifice they made in ensuring our country’s freedom.
Erected in 2011, this statue is the one of the latest erected by the Gold Star Mothers Association across the country and a precursor to the recently approved legislation to raise a similar memorial in Washington D.C.
Made in America: A short ride north to Hooksett will take the rider to the Old Man of the Mountain Replica – a one-quarter scale stone model of the famed cliffside outcropping now seen only on NH license plates….and a bazillion knickknacks and souvenirs.
Rising South, riders can wander America’s Stonehenge in North Salem http://stonehengeusa.com, or visit the famed sculptor and artist Paul Andres’ public collection of sculpture on the grounds of his Art Institute on Big Bear Mountain in Brookline. Free admission. http://www.andresinstitute.org

Standing atop a hill overlooking the Winnipesaukee River a massive triumphal granite arch stands over a 50-ton sarcophagus upon which rests a regal lion.
Built on top of an old Indian fort in 1882 and originally lit by gas lamps, it was visible for miles through the surrounding countryside. Unlike other triumphal arches and memorials of the time, it was built not to honor the dead of war but rather the “victories of peace rather than those of war.”
Made in America: Located in the heart of New Hampshire’s Lakes Region, Northfield is a short ride to Silver Lake and Lake Winnisquam on whose shores you’ll find Laconia, the center of New England motorcycling with its annual bike week June 13-21. This year celebrates the 97th anniversary of the East coast’s version of Sturgis. https://bit.ly/2SxS3U1

Women’s War Memorial
Cathedral of the Pines
10 Hale Hill Rd.
Rindge, New Hampshire
GPS: 42.774722, -71.988568
Access: Daytime hours for lighting purposes. Memorial and offices are available April 1, rest of grounds open on May 1.
Just off the parking lot, is a memorial to those men and women, who had sacrificed their lives in World War II, including a 55-foot tall fieldstone bell tower. This special site is believed to be the first memorial built specifically to honor the women who served in the Armed Forces.
Surrounded by monuments honoring the service of American men and women—both military and civilian; the tower pays tribute to all mothers, wives, sisters, and daughters, “who endured hardship and grief over the separation or loss of loved ones during war, or who forfeited their own lives for the sake of our country.”
Large bronze plaques designed by Norman Rockwell and sculpted by his son, depict early pioneer women in remembrance of those who defended the home front and their families, women in the five branches of the armed forces, Red Cross founder Clara Barton in honor of all nurse who served, and a plaque honoring various organizations of women who gave their lives to the war efforts.
A granite fountain and “Tree of Life” Sculpture are situated in the center of the bell tower. The sculpture features twelve kinds of fruit signifying “strength of character, stamina, determination, and courage.”
If you have the time to visit the office, ask for Executive Director Patricia Vargas, she’d love to meet Tour of Honor riders!
Made in America: The popular Hometown Diner is an American Diner at its best. https://bit.ly/2tsVwLe

WWII Memorial and Museum
77 Center St.
Wolfeboro, New Hampshire
GPS: 43.589209, -71.205438
Access: 24/7
This is the Wright Museum of WWII and on the side of the building next to a tank crashing through a wall, is a sign honoring the home front in WWII. Celebrating the people at home who helped win the war almost as much as those at the front. “Rosie the Riveter,” mom holding down the home front, kids taking over for dad; they are all honored here.
If you step inside (admission fee required) you’ll find a collection dedicated to the greatest generation, the American people who were thrust on the world stage and together fought for peace. The soldiers, sailors and airmen who fought on battlefields around the world are honored here. But also the people remaining behind – everyone at home supported the war effort through rationing, bond drives, factory production and for the first time women became a major part of the industrial workforce.
Stop and check out the tank and the tribute to the home warriors or take a break and see the thousands of exhibits remembering the generation that started the American Century. https://www.wrightmuseum.org/
Made in America: After the Wright, stop in at the New Hampshire Boat Museum (http://www.nhbm.org/) for a view of life on the lake during the heyday of the American post-war expansion.

The Mourning Soldier (Korean Conflict)
On the Boardwalk at Park Place
Atlantic City, New Jersey
GPS: 39.355949, -74.431038
Access: 24/7. Two photos reqiured. Make sure you get the correct photo.
Adjacent to the frenetic activity of Bally’s Casino, lies the somber New Jersey Korean War Memorial, including the soldier pondering a fist-full of dog tags. It is located in Brighton Park on the Atlantic City Boardwalk.
From the NJ Korean War Memorial website:
“The New Jersey Korean War Veterans Memorial was created to ensure that future generations remember and honor the pride and dedication of those who served, the legacy they continued, and the freedom they preserved.
”However painful, frustrating and unsatisfactory the Korean War may have been for Americans, it secured an important victory for democracy in South Korea.”
Made in America: The Absecon Lighthouse, one of the oldest in America and the tallest in New Jersey, at 31 S Rhode Island Ave. lets you climb its 228 steps, tour a state-of-the-art modern lighthouse renovation and the old lightkeeper’s cottage (11AM-4PM daily). A moving memorial to fallen police and firefighters, the In the Line of Duty Sculpture is at St James Place on the Boardwalk and open 24/7.

The 11-sided granite base is inscribed with the names of the victims of the 9-11 attacks and the 1993 World Trade Center Bombing. A nearby marker features a photo of the Tear of Grief Monument with New York City in the background. The site where the World Trade Center once stood is outlined in the picture.

Access: 24/7
This is an especially moving tribute to the fishermen lost at sea along the East Coast, with the mother patiently waiting with children, praying that her husband has once-again survived the perils of the sea.
Made in America: Cape May is one of the country’s oldest vacation resort destinations and is still hugely popular during the summertime. Tourism is by far the dominant industry, with its Victorian houses, boardwalk, restaurants, and dedication to the arts.
The town is also home to Khor Brother’s Frozen Custard for the uniquely East Coast frozen treat since 1919. You’ll find one across town to the south, in the Washington Street Mall, 512 Washington Mall.

Vietnam Veterans Memorial
1 Memorial Ln.
Holmdel, New Jersey
GPS: 40.388580, -74.176171
Access: 24/7. Two photos required. Parking may be limited if the adjacent PNC Arts Center has an event, Vietnam Era Museum open Tues-Sat 10AM-4PM.
Completed on the 20th anniversary of the end of the war and designed by a Vietnamese refugee who fled in its last days, the New Jersey Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial honors all those who served our country and the state during the Vietnam War, especially the 1,563 New Jerseyans who did not return home.
The memorial is a 200 foot diameter raised bowl ringed by 366 polished black granite panels – one for each day of the year. Engraved on the panels is the name, date of birth and date of death of each soldier who died on that day during the war. The May 7th panel, the day the war ended, faces Vietnam. In the center is the state’s official tree, the Red Oak and a statuary group in bronze - one symbolizing all who served and came home, one symbolizing the women who served, and one honoring those who did not return.
Adjacent to the memorial is the Vietnam Era Museum & Educational Center, something the designer of the Vietnam Memorial in Washington told the New Jersey officials was the one thing she would include if she could change her design for the Wall. http://www.njvvmf.org
Made in America: Also on the grounds are the US War Dogs Memorial and Purple Heart Recipients Memorial.

Vietnam Veterans Memorial State Park
34 Country Club Rd.
Angel Fire, New Mexico
GPS: 36.441525, -105.294576
Access: Daylight hours only.
Arguably one of the most beautiful veterans memorials in the U.S. and a permanent stop for the Tour of Honor, the memorial is located in the beautiful Sangre de Cristo mountain range in Northern New Mexico. It was constructed by the family of Dr. Victor Westphall, whose son, David, was killed in a 1968 enemy ambush in Vietnam, near Con Thien. The memorial is not only a tribute to the 16 Marines who died in that battle, but to all members of America’s armed forces.
The Vietnam Veterans National Memorial has become a State Park that provides along with the memorial, a Visitors Center that serves as a place for reunion, reflection, healing, and sharing of experiences. https://bit.ly/2t0vZJ5
There are many stories behind the building of this veterans memorial during a time when it was unpopular to do so, but Doc Westphall persevered and it was dedicated in 1971, on the third anniversary of the death of his son.
One story is about how the Peace and Brotherhood Chapel came to remain open 24 hours a day. When Doc Westphall was building the chapel, he was locking the doors at night. One morning he found a note scrawled on a piece of scrap plywood that read, “Why did you lock the doors when I needed to come in?” Since then the doors have never been locked.
The Run for the Wall motorcycle riders make Angel Fire and Vietnam Veterans Memorial State Park one of their first stops on their trip to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, DC. Up to 500 motorcycles visit the Memorial on Friday, the weekend before Memorial Day. http://www.rftw.org/
There is also a (biker-type) motorcycle rally in the nearby town of Red River, every Memorial Day weekend. Most of the riders visit the Memorial during the rally which up to 20,000 motorcyclists attend. https://bit.ly/38KQFUF

“Counting the Stragglers”
New Mexico Military Institute
Near North Main and College
Roswell, New Mexico
GPS: 33.410698,-104.525472
Access: 6AM-10PM. Two photos required.
New Mexico Military Institute (NMMI) often brags about its famous alumni such as Conrad Hilton, founder of the Hilton Hotel chain; Sam Donaldson, ABC newsman; Samuel Marmaduke, founder of Hastings; Peter Hurd, American artist; Tony Lama, Jr., founder of Tony Lama Boots; Roger Staubach, former Dallas Cowboys quarterback; Owen Wilson, popular young actor; and Paul Horgan, two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning author. It denies the popular rumor that Jessica Jaymes, Hustler magazine’s 2004 “Honey of the Year,” is an alumna.
Founded in 1891 as Goss Military Institute, this is the only state-supported, co-educational, college-preparatory high school and junior college in the United States. The first class consisted of thirty-eight students, more than half were female students. The school provided the only high school education in Southeastern New Mexico, focusing on military training as well as academic subjects. The female students were not subject to the same military discipline as the boys but did drill daily with wands instead of rifles.
Alumni Memorial Plaza, whose outline is in the shape of the New Mexico flag’s Zia sun sign, is dedicated to 1st Lt. William D. DeSanders, a B-17 pilot and member of the class of 1940. His larger-than-life statue sculpted by Roswell oilman and artist Rogers Aston stands in the middle of the plaza. Bronze statues also sculpted by Aston of soldiers from the First and Second World Wars, Korean War, and Vietnam War at each of the four corners of the plaza commemorate the alumni who served in those conflicts. Aston’s close attention to detail reflects careful research.
DeSanders graduated with the class of 1940 and became a B-17 Flying Fortress pilot that participated in bombing runs over Germany. Before his 23rd mission he became ill and a substitute pilot took his plane that was subsequently shot down over Hamburg. Here he is, “counting the stragglers,” awaiting his crew that never made it home.

“Counting the Stragglers”
New Mexico Military Institute
Near North Main and College
Roswell, New Mexico
GPS: 33.410698,-104.525472
Access: 6AM-10PM. Two photos required.
New Mexico Military Institute (NMMI) often brags about its famous alumni such as Conrad Hilton, founder of the Hilton Hotel chain; Sam Donaldson, ABC newsman; Samuel Marmaduke, founder of Hastings; Peter Hurd, American artist; Tony Lama, Jr., founder of Tony Lama Boots; Roger Staubach, former Dallas Cowboys quarterback; Owen Wilson, popular young actor; and Paul Horgan, two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning author. It denies the popular rumor that Jessica Jaymes, Hustler magazine’s 2004 “Honey of the Year,” is an alumna.
Founded in 1891 as Goss Military Institute, this is the only state-supported, co-educational, college-preparatory high school and junior college in the United States. The first class consisted of thirty-eight students, more than half were female students. The school provided the only high school education in Southeastern New Mexico, focusing on military training as well as academic subjects. The female students were not subject to the same military discipline as the boys but did drill daily with wands instead of rifles.
Alumni Memorial Plaza, whose outline is in the shape of the New Mexico flag’s Zia sun sign, is dedicated to 1st Lt. William D. DeSanders, a B-17 pilot and member of the class of 1940. His larger-than-life statue sculpted by Roswell oilman and artist Rogers Aston stands in the middle of the plaza. Bronze statues also sculpted by Aston of soldiers from the First and Second World Wars, Korean War, and Vietnam War at each of the four corners of the plaza commemorate the alumni who served in those conflicts. Aston’s close attention to detail reflects careful research.

Buffalo Soldier Monument
Fort Bayard
100 Calle El Centro
Silver City, New Mexico
GPS: 32.797272, -108.149800
Access 24/7
Fort Bayard was originally installed in 1866 to protect miners and other settlers along the Apache Trail, and was one of many installations in the Southwest garrisoned by the Buffalo Soldiers, Company B of the 25th U.S. Colored Infantry Regiment. This is where the only known female Buffalo Soldier, Cathay Williams (a.k.a. William Cathey), served.
After the capture of Geronimo in 1886, the Apache threat was removed and deactivating the fort was discussed. The excellent health record of the post was brought up and it was transferred to the Surgeon General’s Department in 1900. It became a leading institution for pulmonary tuberculosis research, and is presently a long term care nursing facility and chemical dependency treatment center.
Made in America: For a great ride, take Hwy. 15 to Hwy. 152 to Lorenzo via Hwy 35, or the reverse.

Law Enforcement Officers Memorial
Nevada State Capitol Building
395 S Carson St.
Carson City, Nevada
GPS: 39.163067, -119.766279
Access: 24/7. Two photos required, no illumination at night.
This memorial to Nevada’s slain law enforcement officers was built entirely with private funds, none from any government agency. The maintenance and upkeep is also paid by private contributions.
Each year in May, Nevada’s law enforcement officers make an Olympic-type, 430-mile run from Las Vegas to the memorial in Carson City. They carry a roll of the names of all the officers that have lost their lives so they will always be remembered. It starts a week before the Memorial Ceremony and ends at the presentation.
The ceremony itself, tentatively held May 15, 2020, is an honor to watch and includes a presentation of colors, bag pipes, 21-gun salute, laying of wreaths, speeches, prayers, reverent songs, riderless horse, and finalized by families of the fallen officers laying carnations on the memorial while Taps are played.
Take a photo similar to the one above, along with rider flag and motorcycle. Refer to RULES 6-8 (http://www.tourofhonor.com/pages/rules.html#rules57) for photo verification. Scorers have final say whether standards are met.

1751 College Ave.
Elko, Nevada
GPS: 40.843803, -115.752751
Access: 24/7. Not illuminated at night.
This memorial stands in honor of the 1000s of innocent victims, and the 412 heroes who responded to the call to help, on September 11, 2001. When the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey made available artifacts from the fallen World Trade Center towers after the tragic attack, the City of Elko became the recipient of a three-foot structural I-beam removed from the wreckage, which was incorporated into this impressive sculpture.
The sculpture is oriented according to the angle of the sun at 10:22 a.m. on September 11, the moment of the collapse of the second tower. Each year at this day and time, sunlight shines through the silhouette of the first bird, illuminating the opposite face of the box. Never forget.

War Memorial
801 Clark St.
Ely, Nevada
GPS: 39.247757, -114.889464
Access: 24/7. No illumination at night.
A memorial honoring the 124 White Pines County residents who gave their lives in wars from the Spanish American to Vietnam.
Dedicated on Memorial Day, 1996, and erected by the community of Ely, this memorial sits in a beautiful park setting and is placed in a small plaza surrounded by flag poles and benches and rests on a slope just below the historic 1909 courthouse. Vertical panels set at right angles to each other list the names of those killed in the wars.
Made in America: In 1878, a gentleman by the name of J.W. Long established a camp known as Ely, which later served as a stagecoach station along the Pony Express and Central Overland Routes. In 1906, copper was discovered here and the mining boom was on. Today Ely is the largest community in White Pines County and is still mostly dependent on it’s mining infrastructure.
The Northern Nevada Railway Museum is located here, and keeps alive the history of the area with all kinds of rides and events running along the original rails that connected Ely to the Trans-Continental Railroad. More information can be found at www.nnry.com

Avenue of Flags
1450 S. Casino Dr.
Laughlin, Nevada
GPS: 35.171233, -114.571001
Access: 24/7. No illumination at night.
American Legion Post No. 60 proudly designates this Avenue of Flags in honor of all those who served in the Armed Forces of the United States, protecting our country and assuring us that our flag will forever wave.
Made in America: The town of Laughlin owes it’s existence to the vision of a Las Vegas club owner, Don Laughlin. He saw the tourist potential of what had been the town of South Pointe along the Colorado River. It was never his intention to name the area after himself, but the post office had other ideas.
Today, Laughlin is the third most visited casino and resort destination in Nevada after Las Vegas and Reno, with two points of access to Arizona. It’s a busy town periodically throughout much of the year. One of the busiest weekends in 2020 will be April 23-26 for the Laughlin River Run, right up there with Sturgis, Daytona, Laconia, Street Vibrations, etc. Most of the casinos will not allow colors during the rally and if you plan to stay anywhere in the area you will need to make plans well in advance.

Inscription: “For the Veterans, Those Ordinary, Yet Extraordinary Individuals, Who Served to Keep Us Free “

Tonopah, Nevada
GPS: 38.066589, -117.229355
Access: 24/7. No illumination at night.
A three soldier statue atop a concrete base erected by the local VFW, with a small plaque that reads, “Duty, Honor, Country. In honor and memory of all veterans who served during times of war and peace. Their personal sacrifices, loyalty, and dedication have given us the freedoms we enjoy in this great nation”
Made in America: Tonopah has a rich history of both mining and the military significance. It was the site of the second largest silver strike in Nevada’s history, just behind the famous Comstock Load to the north. Founded in 1900 by a prospector by the name of Jim Butler, silver ore production in that first year was over $750,000.
The Tonopah AAF was founded just after WWI and was a key training field during WWII for both fighter and bombers. P-39’s and B-24’s were staples at this field until the late 40s when the field was turned over to the county for use as a municipal airport.

Capen Hose Fire Museum
237 Main St. S
Brockport, New York
GPS: 43.209555, -77.940138
Access: 24/7. Two photos required. Parking is in the rear of the firehouse.
“Ground Zero” is a wood carved sculptural grouping that recreates the famous Thomas Franklin photograph of three firefighter heroes raising a flag over Ground Zero in the aftermath of the 9/11 attack. The statues were carved by Richard Kron out of white oak. Steel beams and marble tile from the rubble of the World Trade Center augment the design.
All three of the firefighters are still employed by the New York City Fire Department. They are private citizens who wish that their privacy be honored. However, the New York Fire Department has issued a general update of their status:
“George Johnson has also worked for the FDNY for more than 20 years and was recently promoted to Battalion Chief in Brooklyn. Daniel McWilliams is currently a lieutenant with Battalion 37 in Brooklyn. He has worked with the FDNY for more than 20 years and lives on Long Island. William Eisengrein is a firefighter working out of Rescue 2 in Brooklyn. He has been with the FDNY for more than 25 years.”
Made in America: Due to a conflict between two of Brockport’s founders, there are no intersections on Main St. that meet up squarely. The founders hated each other so much that they refused to line up any streets when each designed their half of the village.
It’s eight miles to Texas Bar-B-Q Joint, 112 S. Union St. in Spencerport, and the finest BBQ nearest the memorial. www.tbjny.com

In Honor of Michael Carlo, FDNY
New York Fire Department - Engine Company 230
701 Park Ave.
Brooklyn, New York
GPS: 40.697990, -73.947529
Access: 8AM-8PM. Riders must provide photo like above in order to receive credit for Trophy rides. Park to the right side of the bay door. Be mindful that this is an active firehouse. Knock on the door, firefighters are expecting TOH riders, both the Lieutenant and Captain said riders are invited to "hang out" for awhile. See tips on entering/exiting Brooklyn below.
Michael Scott Carlo, FDNY Engine 230, died heroically on September 11, 2001 in the World Trade Center disaster. He was the devoted son of Robert and Phyllis Carlo; dear brother of Robert Carlo, TOH rider and organizer of America’s Ultimate Long Distance Rider.
.
Go inside this single bay firehouse and make your way to the back room and prepare to be humbled by the duty and honor displayed on the walls. If the house isn’t busy, stay awhile, have some coffee, talk motorcycles and look around. Imagine that this small house is only one of many around the United States each with their own room of honor.
Find the collage of Michael Scott Carlo and place your flag as shown in the photo. A second photo outside of your bike is required for verification, and if the nose of the truck is outside the bay you might have a good photo op with your bike and the names of heroes on the side of the truck.
NYC tips from former New York sponsor, Dan Buis: “Weekends are best. Make sure you have enough fuel to get in and get out as gas stations are not that plentiful in the city. Ride with certainty and not timidity. It is not as bad as people think. I would rather ride in NYC than some other major cities because at least the traffic makes sense in the city."

Knock on the door, firefighters are expecting TOH riders, both the Lieutenant and Captain said riders are invited to "hang out" for awhile. See tips on entering/exiting Brooklyn below.
Michael Scott Carlo, FDNY Engine 230, died heroically on September 11, 2001 in the World Trade Center disaster. He was the devoted son of Robert and Phyllis Carlo; dear brother of Robert Carlo, TOH rider and organizer of America’s Ultimate Long Distance Rider.
.
Go inside this single bay firehouse and make your way to the back room and prepare to be humbled by the duty and honor displayed on the walls. If the house isn’t busy, stay awhile, have some coffee, talk motorcycles and look around. Imagine that this small house is only one of many around the United States each with their own room of honor.
Find the collage of Michael Scott Carlo and place your flag as shown in the photo. A second photo outside of your bike is required for verification, and if the nose of the truck is outside the bay you might have a good photo op with your bike and the names of heroes on the side of the truck.
NYC tips from former New York sponsor, Dan Buis: “Weekends are best. Make sure you have enough fuel to get in and get out as gas stations are not that plentiful in the city. Ride with certainty and not timidity. It is not as bad as people think. I would rather ride in NYC than some other major cities because at least the traffic makes sense in the city."

Like many memorial sites, it is in a park in the center of town. In this case it shares the space with a Civil War Memorial and the historic Tioga County Courthouse.
The town’s name is a derivative of the Iroquois word “Ahwaga,” which means, “where the valley widens.” This name came from the vast floods that run into the valley when the winter snows melted, causing several deaths each year.

Mt. Pisgah Veterans Memorial Ski Center
92 Mt. Pisgah Lane
Saranac Lake, New York
GPS: 44.346099, -74.125851
Access: 24/7
Located on the same side of Mt. Pisgah Rd. as the main ski lodge, the memorial is a natural boulder with a wooden plaque affixed to it. It can be found just before you arrive at the main building.
While Saranac Lake has been sending its children into the services since 1819, there was one conflict which impacted the town out of all proportion to its population. For Europe, World War I began in August of 1914, though the United States wasn’t pulled into the conflict until 1917, a year before it ended. The number of Americans killed or wounded in the conflict was “only” 128,000 -- a small number compared to the deaths of more than 9,000,000 combatants and 7,000,000 civilians.
Conditions in the trenches made U.S. soldiers vulnerable to tuberculosis because of the poor food and living conditions, the ever-present stress of combat, and being exposed to toxic gases. Saranac Lake took an outsized role in the conflict because of the tuberculosis caught overseas, and soldiers would often come to Saranac Lake to rehabilitate.
Made in America: 2.6 miles to Down Hill Grill, 74 Main St., the best BBQ in Saranac Lake according to Yelp, short of stretching the ride east 11 miles for Smoke Signals at 2489 Main St. in Lake Placid. www.smokesignalsq.com
Have a need for speed? Ever wonder what it feels like to be a comet? Check out the Lake Placid Bobsled Experience at the Olympic Sports Complex, 220 Bobsled Run Rd. in Lake Placid. A bobsled run will set you back $95, but it’s the experience of a lifetime and includes a T-shirt and Finishers pin if you survive. And you get to wear a motorcycle helmet one more time, too!

Veterans Memorial Park
8005 S. Cleveland-Massillon Rd.
Clinton, Ohio
GPS: 40.924384, -81.625795
Access: 24/7. Nighttime visits are encouraged.
The park is a series of memorials. Wander through the park and see the unique Purple Heart Memorial, along the walkway past The Wall and just in front of the POW/MIA Reflection Pond.
From the Park staff: “The park is dedicated to honoring Ohio’s heroes from all branches of service during all wars and in peace. We salute all of those who have taken an oath to protect The Constitution of the United States of America, the cause of liberty and the safety of the citizens of our nation.
“The goal here is to HONOR all of our Heroes and their families, REMEMBER the sacrifices made to ensure the liberties of our nation and to CELEBRATE the lives of our heroes and our own lives that we are afforded due to their sacrifices. The small country setting provides a serene and quiet backdrop. The Ohio Veterans’ Memorial Park never closes. It is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days per year. The park is lit at night and we encourage you to visit the park after the sun has set. There is something surreal about the park at night. You would need to experience it to understand. http://www.ovmp.org”

Veterans Memorial Park
N Main & Stone Sts.
Gibsonburg, Ohio
GPS: 41.386917, -83.319535
Access: 24/7. This is a quiet small town and the memorial is located on a residential street. Be respectful when visiting and be aware of children playing in the street.
Gibsonburg is a small town with an outstanding memorial park honoring local area veterans. Williams Park, once an old limestone quarry, was first organized and curated by James Havens, a Marine and retired iron worker and sculptor.
The park is the site of a Veterans Memorial and Museum with many small memorials including an Army tank, a U.S. Air Force Trainer Jet sitting atop a concrete pedestal and a Memorial Wall with a Havens-cast bronze statue of a kneeling Army chaplain. And there's a 9/11 memorial featuring a 7000 lb antenna that was part of the world trade center, leaning on a Havens-designed 18-foot scale model of the new Freedom Tower.
The park is also home to a sculpture village that features close to 30 different art sculptures changed out every spring.
Made in the USA: If you’re hungry, a few blocks from the memorial in the heart of this small town is a place called Kate & Al’s Bar & Grill, where you’ll find good burgers, friendly people and cater to a hometown experience. http://bit.ly/2QUk9cp
Instructions: Take a photo similar to the one attached, along with rider flag and motorcycle. A second photo may be required for location and/or safety reasons. Refer to http://bit.ly/Rules_5-7 for photo verification. Scorers have final say whether standards are met.

Veterans Memorial Park
N Main and E 3rd Sts.
Harrod, Ohio
GPS: 40.709416, -83.920754
Access: 24/7. Some township records indicate the hours are 8AM-8PM but there are no restrictions to access. Please be respectful of the small town should your visit be during other hours.
For such a small town to have such a large memorial park is a testament to their patriotism. Among the park’s highlights is the UH-1 helicopter, tail number 65-09587. It is easy to overlook the fact that most static display pieces have a history of their own.
The Army purchased 65-09587 in December 1965. Originally a D model, it was sent to Vietnam and assigned to the 173rd Assault Helicopter Company. Records show the aircraft as being in service with the 173rd AHC unit until August 25, 1967. On that date the aircraft was involved in a major accident. The information available is as follows:
Aircraft Commander: Warrant Officer D.F. Jordan
Pilot: J.D. Colquitt
Crew Chief: A. M. Scheer
Door Gunner: G. J. Glappa
Total Flight Hours at this point: 1509
Accident Summary: The engine failed as a loud noise was heard. Suspect that foreign damage caused the N-1 turbine failure. The aircraft was set down in a pineapple field in five-foot scrub brush. There were 0 injuries.
Close examination reveals that the aircraft has several bullet holes that have been patched along with other major repairs. Records further indicate that the aircraft was shipped back to the United States and it appears to have been in maintenance until May of 1968 when it was assigned to the 355th Aviation Co., 4th Army, Fort Sill, Oklahoma. It shows up briefly in maintenance again at Corpus Christi, TX in 1975, and that is where it was probably converted to an H model. The records available end in December 1975. At that time 587 had 4756 total hours logged. The Auglaize Township Historical Society took possession of the aircraft from the National Guard at North Canton, Ohio in April of 1996 for static display.
Today, 587 proudly displays the markings and colors of the 176th Assault Helicopter Company, 14th Combat Aviation Battalion, Americal Division, Chu Lai, Republic of South Vietnam.

Air Force Museum Memorial Park
Wright-Patterson AFB
1100 Spaatz St.
Riverside, Ohio
GPS: 39.780584, -84.112044
Access: 9AM-5PM
The museum’s Memorial Park honors Air Force-associated units and people for their courageous service and sacrifice in the cause of freedom. In October 1972, the museum dedicated the first memorial with a commemorative tree and plaque recognizing Americans held as Prisoners of War by the North Vietnamese and those missing in action during the Southeast Asia Conflict. Memorial Park has grown significantly since that first dedication, with more than 500(!) memorials, including statuary memorials, plaques, trees and benches including the new Gold Star Family Memorial.
The required photo is of the park entrance but take it all in and keep an eye out for the Ohio sponsor’s favorite, the Memorial to Doolittle’s Raiders.
Entry to the Museum complex is through the gate onto Bong St. off Springfield St. The gate opens early, typically at 8:30AM and you would be allowed access to the Memorial Park at that time. Follow Bong St to the end. Security measures in place and there is a motorcycle-only parking area directly adjacent to the Park.
Made In America: It doesn’t get any more Made In America than the National Museum of the Air Force, the “world’s largest military aviation museum.” Admission is free and you could easily spend an entire day here, if not longer. Visit https://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil for details.
If you’re hungry, the RIP Rap Roadhouse is a short ride away and always has great food, shakes, and good times. “Always biker, family, and biker family friendly!” Try visiting on Wednesday Night Bike Night where you might see 1,000+ motorcycles show up when the weather is good! http://www.ripraproadhouse.com
Instructions: Take a photo similar to the one attached, along with rider flag and motorcycle. A second photo may be required for location and/or safety reasons. Refer to http://bit.ly/Rules_5-7 for photo verification. Scorers have final say whether standards are met.

9/11 First Responders Last Call Memorial
Toledo Memorial Park
6382 Monroe St.
Sylvania, Ohio
GPS: 41.723083, -83.692083
Access 8:30AM-4:30PM
The memorial was dedicated on September 10th, 2016. The cornerstone of the section is a surviving beam from the wreckage of the World Trade Center that serves as a symbol and reminder of a first responders commitment and sacrifice that day and every day. The 13,000 pound section of beam and structural steel is welded onto the end of the beam is a jib off of a 1940’s era Bucyrus Erie Crane which signifies a fire truck ladder. At the end of the jib, a weighted cable holds an American Flag that was flown over the United States Capitol.
It is fastened to an octagonal 70 yard reinforced concrete base which stands 9 1/2 feet tall, designed in the shape of a bolt, symbolizing the American sprit which rebuilt Ground Zero. The beam points 1 degree south from due east directly at the World Trade Center. The monument’s name itself is taken from the “Last Call” ritual, which is observed during the service of a fallen police officer or firefighter.
In 2017, the final piece of the memorial was poured, molded, polished and rang signifying the most touching tribute done at firefighter funerals. This one of a kind bell was made on site by The Verdin Bell Company with the world’s only bell foundry on wheels. 500 pounds of metal consisting of 12 bronze ingots weighing 40 pounds each were melted into molten liquid in just three hours. The bell cooled and hardened overnight. The bell was then released from the mold and then polished for more than four hours. Each bell weighs 250 lbs, stands about two feet tall and rings in the musical note of “E”. This whole process was accomplished in just two days.
The Sylvania Fire Dept held the inaugural ringing of the bell on September 11th, 2017.

Veterans Memorial
500 E Broadway
Cheyenne, Oklahoma
GPS: 35.613590, -99.671540
Access: 24/7
This memorial was erected to pay respect to all the brave veterans who serve this country. On each side of the central stone are two short grey walls etched with the names of hundreds of local citizens who have sacrificed their lives in the line of duty. A flower wreath can sometimes be seen honoring those named here.
Made in America: The town of Cheyenne is perhaps most well-known for being the location of the Battle of Washita River. On the dawn of November 1868, Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer led the 7th U.S. Cavalry in a surprise attack against Peace Chief Black Kettle and the sleeping camp of the Cheyenne tribe. More information can be learned about this event by traveling two miles west of here and visiting the Washita Battlefield National Historic Site. https://www.nps.gov/waba
Instructions: Take a photo similar to the one above, along with rider flag and motorcycle. A second photo may be required for location and/or safety reasons. Refer to http://bit.ly/Rules_5-7 for photo verification. Scorers have final say whether standards are met.

Veterans Honor Walk
S Broadway & W 3rd Sts.
Grove, Oklahoma
GPS: 36.593080, -94.771670
Access: 24/7
Inscription: “Veterans Honor Walk, honoring all veterans who served our country.” On the backside of the memorial is a heartfelt dedication alongside an image of the western hemisphere and the renowned Iwo Jima Memorial in Virginia. The “walk” is covered with bricks of local veterans past and present.
Made in America: In the late 1930s, a dam was built across Grand River and “The Tulsa World predicted a bright future because of [Grove]’s strategic position east of the river, with Elk River to the north and Honey Creek to the south”. Construction jobs brought with it an influx of workers, new businesses came to the area, and the town was forced to expand in order to contain the vast number of residents now calling Grove home. Unlike many other Oklahoma locales, the population of Grove has been steadily growing ever since.

Veterans Memorial

Leedey, Oklahoma
GPS: 35.871909, -99.348096
Access: 24/7
Just as not all heros are larger-than-life, this quiet memorial is located in the shadow of a water-tower, hidden between a playground and basketball court. Though it may not be as well-known as Leedey’s Tornado Monument, it’s still remarkable how it pays respect to all the brave men and women who have served, no matter how humble their beginnings.
Made in America: In 1892, Leedey came into existence as a proper town when the Cheyenne-Arapaho Reservation was opened for non-Native American settlement. Though there was a minor oil boom in the 1930s which caused the population to peak at 650, there was a decline shortly after and the town currently has approximately 450 residents. This quiet community has kept to themselves for the most part, staying out the limelight and relishing the fact that they are a small town with a modest history.

Firefighters Memorial
2716 NE 50th St.
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
GPS: 35.521800, -97.464660
Access: 24/7
The property of the Fallen and Living Firefighters Memorial is separated into two distinct areas: the museum and the memorial. The Firefighters Museum contains a vast array of historical artifacts, from 18th century equipment used by firefighters back in the day to a life-size replica of an old firehouse. Inside the building is also an Oklahoma Rescue Memorial, thanking all the first responders who risked their lives helping people escape from the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building during the events of the Oklahoma City bombing on April 19, 1995. The museum is open 9AM-4:30PM Monday-Saturday and 1PM-4:30PM on Sundays.
The memorial is located on the other half of the property. The first thing you’ll notice is the tall sculpture depicting two firefighters struggling on the unstable frame of an iron building. While one fighter lays on the roof, desperately trying to pull his comrade to safety, the other dangles precariously off the edge, glancing over his shoulder at the ground below. A glass flame sits atop the Wall of Valor, inscribed with the names of “all Oklahoma firefighters who [have] served their communities for more than 20 years or retired through disability.”
Bonus stop: 35.473304, -97.516737 This year marks the 25th Anniversary of the bombing of the Murrah Building in downtown Oklahoma City. The Oklahoma City National Memorial Museum occupies the west end of the former Journal Record Building. There is a self-guided tour telling the story of the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. On the east side of the Memorial, an American Elm known as the Survivor Tree, bears witness to the violence of that day and withstood the full force of the attack. Years later, it continues to stand as a living symbol of resilience.

Seminole Nation Cemetery & Veterans Memorial

Seminole, Oklahoma
GPS: 35.188918, -96.697193
Access: 24/7
The Seminole Nation of Oklahoma Cemetery and Veterans Memorial sits on a 20-acre lot located just off Highway 59, obvious by the two large stone walls that are separated by seven plaques, each displaying traditional symbols of war. One wall is embellished with the name of the memorial and an emblem paying respect to the Seminole Nation Code Talkers.
What exactly is the Seminole Nation of Oklahoma? They’re a tribe of federally recognized Native Americans who were removed from their homes in Florida and relocated to reservations in Oklahoma. In 1898, the Curtis Act was passed and, as a result, the tribe was granted permission to run their own government. Their jurisdiction covered such a large area that they founded their very own county, appropriately called Seminole County which included the notable cities of Seminole and Wewoka.
Although the city of Seminole was built on traditional Native American cultures, it’s had its fair share of outside influence, perhaps the most renowned being the oil boom of 1926, when high-producing oil wells were discovered within the city. Seminole transformed from a meager town of only 850 residents to one with over 25,000 in a span of just a few years. This eruption in population declined to around 11,000 by the time 1930 rolled around and has been on a slow decline ever since.

Choctaw War Memorial
10 Council House Rd.
Tuskahoma, Oklahoma
GPS: 34.640732, -95.279057
Access: Dawn-dusk. For trophy and Iron Butt rides, photos must be taken during daylight hours.
The Choctaw War Memorial sits on approximately one acre of land. The path to each station meanders in a snake-like pattern with a memorial for each conflict in bends of the path. The Choctaw Code Talker memorial is the first station you come to and honors the “original Code Talkers” of WWI and WWII. The subsequent stations are for WWI, WWII, Korean, Vietnam, and Gulf Wars. It is definitely worth spending more than just a few minutes here.
When the United States entered the war in 1917, Native Americans were among the soldiers. Even though they weren’t allowed to become U.S. citizens until 1924, they felt a deep patriotic duty to volunteer and serve their country.
The United States has experienced a war in every generation since Independence, and Choctaw warriors have always fought alongside American Soldiers, thus fulfilling a prophecy by Pushmataha, a Choctaw chief who died in 1827, that the Choctaw “War Cry” would be heard in many foreign lands.
Tvshka Homma (between Clayton and Talihina) is the home of the Choctaw Capitol Building that was completed in 1884. The Capitol was in use from 1884 until 1907, when the Choctaw Nation was abolished and Oklahoma became a state. After statehood, the building fell into disuse and disrepair. During recent decades, however, it has achieved new life as the Choctaw Capitol Museum of the successfully reconstituted Choctaw Nation. The Choctaw Nation holds its annual Labor Day festival here, attracting nationally-known country-western singers and bands, and in excess of 25,000 attendees.

Law Enforcement Memorial
301 N Broadway St.
Walters, Oklahoma
GPS: 34.360490, -98.308830
Access: 24/7
While this memorial acknowledges all the brave men and women who laid down their lives to protect and serve this country, it pays additional respect to a handful of LEOs, including Jody Latimer (age 23, car crash responding to disturbance), Bill Dyer (age 45, accidental gunshot), Jefferson Davis Graham (age 63, murdered by gunshot), and Nikky Joe Green (age 35, murdered with own gun). RIP. We suggest that you leave a small token of your respect to these American heroes.
Made in America: Long before explorers came to the Americas, the territory now known as Walters was populated by Native Americans from various tribes, including but not limited to the Choctaw, Chickasaw, and Comanche. In 1803, the territory was sold to President Thomas Jefferson as part of the Louisiana Purchase. When the Indian Removal Act was passed in 1830, the region was divided to include specified portions of land for Native American relocation.
In 1901, the territory once again shifted boundaries as the land was redistributed. Officials decided to make this region -- which had been utilized for Native American reservations up until this point -- available for homesteaders. The tribes living in the area were none too happy about this and went so far as to hire lawyers to help them come up with a legal defense. Ultimately, the land was sectioned off in pieces and random numbers were assigned to any interested party. This event came to be known as the Kiowa-Comanche-Apache Opening.

Made in America: Clatskanie has been described as a “Norman Rockwell” picturesque small city nestled in green hills and valleys on the coastal range in northwest Oregon. Clatskanie also has over 70 miles of wonderful calm water in the Clatskanie River and adjacent sloughs for kayaking. So if you need a break from riding, you can start a new adventure here. The city park has a walking trail and is a jewel in the center of the city. Clatskanie sponsors a wonderful 4th of July Heritage Days celebration that dates back over 100 years.
Food is plentiful so grab a bit and sit in the park or along the river and enjoy the small town atmosphere.

Firefighters Memorial
411 Central Ave.
Coos Bay, Oregon
GPS: 43.367942, -124.216540
Access: 24/7
On November 25, 2002, Captain Randy Carpenter, Firefighter Jeff Common and Firefighter Chuck Hanners made the ultimate sacrifice while fighting a fire at the Farwest Truck and Auto Parts Store at nearby 340 S 2nd St. They will always be remembered for living their lives with honor, courage, and a strong sense of duty to their family, friends and community.
The memorial was designed by Coos Bay Firefighters to honor the memory of their lost Brothers, and is dedicated to the sacrifices of ALL firefighters who have given their lives in the line of duty. The eleven trees surrounding the Memorial represent each of the eleven children who lost their fathers that day.
Made in America: Coos Bay is in the middle of the Oregon Sand Dunes and you have lots of opportunities to spend some time riding the Dunes. Not recommended for those big touring bikes but they DO have lots of rental buggies in the area for your enjoyment. As you leave Coos Bay you can enjoy Highway 101 running along the Pacific Ocean all the way north to Neah Bay, Washington, or south to San Diego, California. Many miles of smiles!

Estacada, Oregon
GPS: 45.288904, -122.337337
Access: 24/7
The Spirit of America Eagle captures the center of Memorial Park in its tribute to all branches of Estacada veterans. The park was dedicated in 2014 in an effort led by the Estacada Area Support Our Troops Foundation.
Made in America: Estacada takes you from the busy rush of big cities back to the quiet delights of small town America. Stop to enjoy the river or the birds along the way while visiting Bagby Hot Springs just one hour up the road. Individual tubs, including whiskey barrels, allow you that full relaxation from your long and hot (or maybe wet) ride to get here. Clothing optional. Find out more at http://bit.ly/30t2SKP

The Spirit of America Eagle captures the center of Memorial Park in its tribute to all branches of Estacada veterans. The park was dedicated in 2014 in an effort led by the Estacada Area Support Our Troops Foundation.
Made in America: Estacada takes you from the busy rush of big cities back to the quiet delights of small town America. Stop to enjoy the river or the birds along the way while visiting Bagby Hot Springs just one hour up the road. Individual tubs, including whiskey barrels, allow you that full relaxation from your long and hot (or maybe wet) ride to get here. Clothing optional. Find out more at http://bit.ly/30t2SKP

Gold Beach, Oregon
GPS: 42.397850, -124.422663
Access: 24/7
A new memorial plaza dedicated to the Men and Women of Curry County who served in the armed forces., that also honors the local police and fire departments of Curry County. It is a work in progress and continues to grow.
Made in America: Gold Beach is a unique Oregon Coast town with endless, uncrowded beaches and views. If you need to get off the bike for a little exercise you have the wild Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest for your hiking and wildlife viewing pleasures. The beach allows for seal and whale viewing, while in the mountains be ready for elk or bear, so watch your step. You’ll also find the largest Myrtlewood tree in Oregon in this area (myrtlewood is a thing here, making a nice souvenir).
If hiking isn’t for you but food is, you’re in luck because Gold Beach has many local seafood places like the Chowder House http://bit.ly/38aVJRR Ice cream and local wine and brewing shops abound.
After visiting Gold Beach you are just a short distance from California. Going north or south or east, you can bet that your next miles will be scenic.

Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde
9615 Grand Ronde Rd
Grande Ronde, Oregon
GPS: 45.074535, -123.614864
Access: 24/7, unrestricted
The West Valley Veterans Memorial features a man and woman dressed in traditional native clothing reaching to the sky. Surrounding them are four black granite pillars, representing four branches of the armed services, which feature the names of Tribal and community veterans from Grand Ronde, Willamina and Sheridan.
This memorial is a living memorial and during the years on Memorial Day new names are added as appropriate. During the Memorial Day 2019 service a total of ten new names were added for dedicated service by tribal and nontribal residences of the greater Grande Ronde area.
Made in America: The Memorial is surrounded by Tribal Service Offices of the Grande Ronde Confederated Tribles. Just a short distance down the road in the town of Grande Ronde is the Chachalu Museum which is free and offers a celebration of the survival of the Confederated Tribes of the Grande Ronde.
No matter what road you took to get here the ride to the next TOH site will be great. Highway 18 or 22 to the ocean give you great opportunities to use the side of those tires instead of just the middle from those super slabs. Beware, animals like this area and often use the highways as well.

Here, you’ll find a memorial plaque in boulder, along with a stone wall listing all KIA’s from the area.
Made in America: Hermiston has long been a stopover for travelers. Lewis and Clark passed this area on their way down the Columbia to the Pacific Ocean, so as you travel you are in good company. Hat Rock State Park was written about in the journals of Lewis and Clark so if you want to spend a relaxing time this can be a great place and is only a couple miles out of town. Railroading has always been a part of this area and the “Maxwell Siding Railroad Display” in Hermiston recalls those former great rail days.
Riders visiting in August may find themselves in town during the Farm-City Pro Rodeo. Before you leave town make sure to see which side of the Columbia may have your closest TOH site in Washington.

This Vietnam Veterans Memorial honors all veterans who served, consisting of a large two-sided stone wall with numerous plagues and a soldier proudly calling all to read his special words of: “When you go home: Tell them for us and say: For your tomorrow, We gave our today”. The memorial is topped with an Eagle and a great view of the mighty Columbia River. Welcome home, Soldier/Sailor/Airman/Marine!
Made in America: The Dallas is located on the Columbia River and the view from this memorial often offers a view of wind surfers from around the world, on the river. The wind funneled through the gorge creates excellent surfing opportunities’ and conditions. So if you need a break from riding, you might head on down to the river’s edge to Celilio Paddle Co. for a surf board to rent. The area is the eastern gateway to the Columbia Gorge National Scenic Area, with plenty of opportunities for hiking, biking, fishing and paddling to your heart’s content.
Before you leave town, make sure to check for a TOH site that may be close by in Washington.

War Dog Memorial

Bristol, Pennsylvania
GPS: 40.123613, -74.867408
Access: 24/7. Please obey the posted signage and do not park in the roadway. There is parking between the memorial and the municipal building.
Over the course of our nation’s military history, tens of thousands of War Dogs served from WWI through Afghanistan and continue to serve on missions around the globe. America’s War Dogs have a long and legendary history for bravery and courage on thousands of unnamed foreign fields of battle, saving countless American lives. Some military analysts estimate as many as ten thousand U.S. and allied lives were saved during the Vietnam War alone. The casualty rates in all other wars were significantly reduced by thousands as a result of deploying these four-legged soldiers.
The war dogs performed specialty duties as Scout, Sentry, Tracker, Mine & Booby Trap, Tunnel, Water Patrol, Coast Guard, Search & Rescue, and Explosive Detection. War Dogs were not mascots, they were highly trained and proficient four-legged Soldiers, Marines, Airmen and Sailors with names like Prince, Tiger, and Lucky, to name a few. They worked for food, water, and the love and companionship of their handlers. In return, they never gave up on the battlefield and were considered heroes.
Of the approximately four-thousand War Dogs that served in the Armed Forces during the Vietnam War, all were classified as equipment and termed expendable. Roughly two-hundred and fifty were re-assigned to another military installation. The several thousand that survived were either given to the South Vietnamese Army or euthanized, by order of government, in a haste to withdraw from the country.

Memorial For Unknown Soldiers and Sailors
Gridley Circle inside the Lakeside Cemetery
1718 East Lake Rd.
Erie, Pennsylvania
GPS: 42.148578, -80.051863
Access: Dawn-dusk
This memorial is on the bluff at the shore of Lake Erie, at the end of the road, in the area known as Gridley Circle. The most famous veteran buried in the Lakeside Cemetery is Captain Charles Vernon Gridley, who commanded the USS Olympia during the Spanish-American War. There’s also aJohn P. Vincent Gridley there, a US Marine who was killed aboard the USS Missouri during the Spanish-American War.
The Memorial for Unknown Soldiers and Sailors honors those who gave their lives for their country and are buried in unknown graves. The monument gives the viewer pause to contemplate those veterans and their families. The vista of Lake Erie in the background provides the spectacular scenery in which to lose yourself momentarily and contemplate on those veterans and their sacrifices for your freedoms. Shade trees and benches are nearby if you’d like to spend some time.
Around the monument are other grave markers and Spanish cannons. A plaque explains that the cannons were used in the Battle for Manila Bay, 1898.
Made In America: Twenty minutes to the west, roughly seven miles on Sixth Street, riders can enter Presque Isle State Park, a 3,200-acre sandy peninsula that arches into Lake Erie. It offers a beautiful coastline ride for motorcyclists along with many recreational activities for all tourists, including birdwatching of migratory birds.

War Memorial
16th Street Park
1233 Susquehanna Ave.
Renovo, Pennsylvania
GPS: 41.328436, -77.742644
Access: 24/7
The beautiful Renovo War Memorial is built in honor of those veterans from the area who gave their lives defending our freedoms, as well as to those who served honorably.
Less than 4,500 residents lived in Renovo around the time of the war, yet you’ll find in excess of 420 names inscribed on the Honor Roll walls. There are two smaller special monuments there as well: one for a veteran killed at Pearl Harbor; and one for a B-24 bomber crew.
The original War Memorial was designed and developed in the late-1950s and early-1960s. In the early 1980s, PennDOT had plans to replace the Memorial Bridge, but said plans did not include saving the memorial. Having the memorial accessible only by steep steps was not acceptable, so local leaders found another site and a “tank retriever” was used to pull the Sherman Tank to it. The eagles that sit atop the memorial were once part of the original Memorial Bridge.
Made in America: There are many roads into and out of Renovo that won’t disappoint riders. Explore the Sproul State Forest to the west, Rte 120 to the east, Rte. 144 to the north. But best of all is Route 144 leading south. From the river up the side of the mountain, across the ridge and down the other side of the mountain this highway offers enough turns per mile through the remote forested wilderness area, known as the Pennsylvania Wilds, that you’ll be tempted to run it several times.
There are a few restaurants in Renovo, each with its own advertised specialty and reason for stopping: The Green Lantern Restaurant (comfort food, quick bite, great cocktails http://bit.ly/375r6x8), Socky’s (late-night food, comfort food, small plates http://bit.ly/38drbic), and Lisa’s (comfort food, quick bite, quiet http://bit.ly/2RvgbGa).

Tuskegee Airmen Memorial
Sewickley Cemetery
501 Hopkins St.
Sewickley, Pennsylvania
GPS: 40.543240, -80.170600
Access: Dawn-dusk
The Tuskegee Airmen Memorial (TAM) at the Sewickley Cemetery, is the largest outdoor Tuskegee Airmen Memorial in the US. It was dedicated September 15, 2013 on the 150th Anniversary of the Cemetery. It features a concrete, handicapped accessible plaza, four monuments and four granite benches. One monument, in particular, is 10’ tall with a red granite sculpted Red Tail on top, visible from all directions as you approach the memorial. Two “tower” monuments include the names of all the Tuskegee Airmen and one woman from Western PA, representing the largest contingent in the country. Since first originally honoring the TAM in 2014 on the Tour of Honor, one of the Tuskegee Airmen has been interned at the memorial.
More than 10 years before Rosa Parks made international history on that bus in Montgomery, the Tuskegee Airmen were challenging the same Jim Crow laws. A talented and determined group of African American men were challenging prejudice and bigotry of the worst kind, in the US military and in society. The Tuskegee Airmen went on to become one of the most heralded air squadrons during World War II.
In 1942, the Tuskegee airmen were piloting second-hand P-40 aircraft. These were slower and more difficult to maneuver than their German counterparts. Complaints were defended before the War Department’s committee, resulting in an eventual change to P-51 Mustangs for the newly organized 332 Fighter Group. The tails of their planes were painted red for identification purposes, earning them the nickname “Red Tails”.
Their brilliant combat record included over 1,578 missions, 150 Distinguished Flying Crosses and 714 Silver and Gold Cluster Air Medals. Facing racial stereotypes and discrimination at home they persevered in the defeat of the Nazis. The Airmen, who belonged to the 332nd Fighter Group’s 99th, 100th, 301st and 302nd Fighter Squadrons, took part in more than 15,500 sorties in Europe, North Africa and Sicily. The largest contingent of WWII enlistees in the Tuskegee Airmen program came from western Pennsylvania and the Pittsburgh area, in particular. Western PA Tuskegee Airmen number close to 100 with three killed in action and one taken as POW.
Made In America: Sewickley is a quaint village where you can browse boutiques and retail shops as well as find an excellent restaurant. But if you believe life is short so you should eat dessert first, go for the Ultimate Pastry Shop at 445 Beaver St. Their website lists 50 different cupcakes alone. http://bit.ly/35Z4Aoc

Flight 93 Memorial
6424 Lincoln Hwy.
Stoystown, Pennsylvania
GPS: 40.078905,-78.887150
Access: 9AM-5PM daily. Free admission.
“A common field one day. A field of honor forever.”
This memorial is making a reappearance on the Tour of Honor, one of the most moving memorials in America. Thank you to Mike Kneebone for including it in the 2003 Iron Butt Rally, for it was the inspiration for TOH.
It honors the heroic passengers and crew of United Airlines Flight 93 at the September 11, 2001 crash site. As many remember, Flight 93 was hijacked by four al-Qaeda terrorists as part of the September 11, 2001 attacks against America. The other three planes caused catastrophic damage in NYC and the Pentagon, but the passengers and crew of Flight 93 overpowered the hijackers, ending up crashing the plane before it reached its intended target in Washington, DC.
The newly dedicated memorial replaces the temporary one which was erected within days of the crash. The actual crash site is accessible only to family members of Flight 93 passengers and crew.
As many have said, “Time stands still here.”
Made in America: You can also visit the Shanksville Volunteer Fire Department. A steel cross donated by the NYC Fire Department (constructed from World Trade Center scrap) is displayed at the firehouse. http://bit.ly/2RosBQi

“Lest We Forget” Memorial
Erie Blvd. & W Main St.
Susquehanna, Pennsylvania
GPS: 41.946572, -75.603511
Access: 24/7
The “Lest We Forget” memorial is a two-part memorial commemorating the services of those who made the supreme sacrifice for liberty and humanity. The left side features the Civil War, the Spanish American War, and World War I. On top of the pedestal sits a military gun, now decommissioned and silenced. On the right, a three-panel polished granite marker honors all who have honorably served, and are now serving, to protect our freedom.
Made in America: Susquehanna is a quaint Victorian town with wide blue-stone sidewalks providing a pleasurable and tranquil walk through town.
Two suggested "must-see" attractions: From the memorial, head .9 miles west on Erie Boulevard past the Fire Department to where the 3-story Starrucca House sits on Depot Street. The Gothic Revival hotel/railway depot is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is in the process of being revived to its former glory. Even in its current condition, it gives one pause to remember the good ole days.
And riding east 1.7 miles from the memorial on Main Street, turn right on Viaduct Street, where you'll see the impressive Starrucca Viaduct. Built in 1848, it remains the world’s largest stone railway viaduct. At a cost of $320,000 (adjusted to $9.5 million in today’s dollars) it was the most expensive railway bridge in the world. Before you go. check it out on Google’s satellite maps at 41.963155, -75.583228. Once you see it on your computer screen you won’t want to miss it in real life.
Looking for a bite to eat? The Main St. Cafe is right across the street from the memorial.

“Lest We Forget” Memorial
Erie Blvd. & W Main St.
Susquehanna, Pennsylvania
GPS: 41.946572, -75.603511
Access: 24/7
The “Lest We Forget” memorial is a two-part memorial commemorating the services of those who made the supreme sacrifice for liberty and humanity. The left side features the Civil War, the Spanish American War, and World War I. On top of the pedestal sits a military gun, now decommissioned and silenced. On the right, a three-panel polished granite marker honors all who have honorably served, and are now serving, to protect our freedom.
Made in America: Susquehanna is a quaint Victorian town with wide blue-stone sidewalks providing a pleasurable and tranquil walk through town.
Two suggested "must-see" attractions: From the memorial, head .9 miles west on Erie Boulevard past the Fire Department to where the 3-story Starrucca House sits on Depot Street. The Gothic Revival hotel/railway depot is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is in the process of being revived to its former glory. Even in its current condition, it gives one pause to remember the good ole days.
And riding east 1.7 miles from the memorial on Main Street, turn right on Viaduct Street, where you'll see the impressive Starrucca Viaduct. Built in 1848, it remains the world’s largest stone railway viaduct. At a cost of $320,000 (adjusted to $9.5 million in today’s dollars) it was the most expensive railway bridge in the world. Before you go. check it out on Google’s satellite maps at 41.963155, -75.583228. Once you see it on your computer screen you won’t want to miss it in real life.
Looking for a bite to eat? The Main St. Cafe is right across the street from the memorial.
Also, American Legion Post 86 has "finger food" on Wednesday evenings, and the Post 86 Lady’s Auxiliary put on a WONDERFUL breakfast on the first Sunday of the month. They say that if you go away hungry it’s your own fault. Post 86 is at 1234 W Main St.

The Statue Garden War Memorial contains five major statues commemorating veterans of World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War and the Women of the Armed Forces. If you walk the grounds, you’ll find that there are also plaques and memorials for those who perished in the 2003-2004 War on Terrorism, the September 11, 2001 attacks on the US, and the 34 veterans who died from the 1976 Legionnaires disease outbreak.
In the courtyard between the buildings is a memorial to those POW-MIAs from all wars and conflicts. At the head of the POW-MIA memorial is a statue of folded, praying hands symbolizing the desire of everyone – peace.
Made In America: From the Statue Garden, as you look eastward, you can see across the Susquehanna River to Harrisburg, the State Capital. And just downstream on the Susquehanna River is the Three Mile Island Nuclear Reactor, site of the March 28, 1979, partial meltdown of reactor #2. Interestingly, on March 16, 1979, only a dozen days before the incident at TMI, the movie The China Syndome hit the theaters.

Davisville, Rhode Island
GPS: 41.606462, -71.449838
Access: 24/7
The home of the Navy Seabees, Camp Endicott houses the Seabees Museum and Memorial Park. With the historic Chapel in the Pines and examples of Quonset Huts designed here at Quonset, Rhode Island; the museum was built by Seabees, run by Seabees for Seabees and their families and the public.
The Seabees were a special organization of engineer-soldiers within the Navy who would support Navy and Marine personnel throughout the WWII fighting theatres. Battalions of highly skilled craftsmen, electricians, plumbers, equipment operators and others were deployed to construct or reconstruct facilities from the pontoon causeways used by the Army infantry to storm Normandy Beach, to the airfields on Guadalcanal and Midway Ovid Brooks, father of TOH organizers Steve and Dave Brooks, was one of those Seabees on Midway.
The Seabees continue to be the front line engineering battalions of the American armed forces, serving in Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm and Iraqi Freedom. “Can Do – Done” and “We Build, We Fight” are still watchwords of freedom.
Made in America: Quonset Air Museum is nearby and the home of the Quonset Hut made famous by Seabee installations the world over.

Memorial to America’s Wars and Conflicts
Conanicus & Narragansett Aves.
Jamestown, Rhode Island
GPS: 41.49637, -71.366622
Access: 24/7
Due to its location on Conanicut Island in the Narragansett Bay, only accessible by bridge or boat, Jamestown is home to many scenic rides and unique sights. Among these is one of the only memorials to the Indian Wars in New England. An obelisk memorializes all “wars and conflicts” of American history with individual markers for each at its base.
The island is lightly trafficked outside of downtown and provides an incredible opportunity for island riding in the heart of Rhode Island.
Made in America: Take a ride over the Clairborne Pell Newport bridge whose towers soar 400 ft above the bay and more than 2 miles long making it the longest suspension bridge in New England, then take a ride into Newport, park the bike and walk around downtown for the shopping and the food or even a mansion tour at the famous Newport Gilded Age mansions of the Vanderbilts and their posh neighbors. https://bit.ly/38YokdE

Commander of the Alamo Monument
Hwy. 121 and Rocky Creek Rd.
Johnston, South Carolina
GPS: 33.915199, -81.813617
Access: 24/7, unrestricted
This memorial stands near the birthplace and boyhood home of Col. William “Buck” Travis, defender and commander of the Alamo. In February, 1836, James Bowie, in charge of the Alamo volunteers but in failing health, relinquished his command to Col. Travis. Then, with increasing assaults from Santa Anna, Travis wrote his famed “Victory or Death” letter to seek help, addressed “To the people of Texas and all Americans in the world….If this call is neglected, I am determined to sustain myself as long as possible and die like a soldier who never forgets what is due to his own honor and that of his country.”
Travis was KIA on March 6, 1836 and his remains were burned along with the other Alamo defenders. Col. Johnson was the first person killed at the Alamo but was remembered as the military mind that organized the settlers to defend the Alamo. Take time to read the full letter at the memorial site.

This small town, population 295, in central South Carolina, evidently doesn’t need a large police force. Before it was the police station it was the town well. The well was covered up in 1940, and the police station was built. This little hut, approximately 10’ wide by 19’ deep, is about the size of a home bathroom and was last used for service in 1990. It is truly unique to look at. Just beside it is the new police station. It’s twice as large as its predecessor, but still very small. In fact, it could be the 2nd smallest police station.
Made in America: Next to the old police station is the Olde Town Hall, now a Brew Pub and restaurant with excellent food. http://www.oldetownhall.com

Agent Orange Memorial

GPS: 34.765227, -83.067492
Access: 27/7. Two photos required.
As Chief Petty Officer Frank Davis lay dying in his ICU hospital bed, he was forbidden to have live flowers. His daughter purchased for him a silver plastic rose, to which he said “I’d rather have this silver rose than all of the Purple Hearts in the Pentagon.” He died shortly afterwards of the cancer that was directly linked to his exposure to Agent Orange in Vietnam more than 20 years earlier. Agent Orange, a chemical defoliant, was a weapon of war deployed by American Forces during the Vietnam War. Over 22 and 1/2 million gallons were sprayed. By most accounts, and since the end of the war, over 300,000 of our veteran service personnel have been affected by AO Dioxins, with more deaths than the 58,000-plus who lost their lives during the war.
The Department of Veterans Affairs recognizes over 40 cancers and sicknesses, including Diabetes II, as Agent Orange related and being “service connected.” Yet most of the Vietnam-Theatre veterans are unaware of this information. The Order of the Silver Rose hopes to see every Vietnam Veteran exposed to AO Dioxins given the honors and recognition they deserve. And, until the day arrives that our own Government decides to honor these victims, The Order of the Silver Rose will continue to offer their Silver Rose Award to all eligible Vietnam Veterans and their surviving families.
Those whose deaths are linked to their Agent Orange (and the other dioxin-rich defoliants) exposure from their service in Vietnam are ineligible for the Purple Heart. This saddens and angers many families and service members who directly link their combat service exposure to their (pending) death. Mary Elizabeth Marchand channeled her energies after the death of her father (Chief Frank Davis) into creating the non-profit organization the Order of the Silver Rose.
The Order of the Silver Rose has many purposes; first, to honor the nation’s “chemically-wounded” warriors and to educate the public regarding the extent and the dangers of exposures. Secondly, it wants to spread the word to those who were exposed to Agent Orange that simple lab tests done on a regular basis can detect many illnesses linked to the chemical exposure. Early detection helps to extend life or even cure the disease in question. And lastly, it helps to find resources that veterans and families may be eligible for through the VA.

The Order of the Silver Rose has many purposes; first, to honor the nation’s “chemically-wounded” warriors and to educate the public regarding the extent and the dangers of exposures. Secondly, it wants to spread the word to those who were exposed to Agent Orange that simple lab tests done on a regular basis can detect many illnesses linked to the chemical exposure. Early detection helps to extend life or even cure the disease in question. And lastly, it helps to find resources that veterans and families may be eligible for through the VA.

Tuskegee Airmen Memorial

Walterboro, South Carolina
GPS: 32.916558, -80.637685
Access: 24/7
The Tuskegee Airmen, of the famed 332nd Fighter Group, although named for their origins at Alabama’s Tuskegee Institute, actually completed final training in Walterboro, South Carolina at Walterboro Army Airfield, where the regional airport now sits. Flying advanced fighter planes from 1943-1945, the statistics on the Tuskegee Airmen and theit missions are impressive, making these airmen one of the most respected squadrons of World War II.
The 1,000 Tuskegee Airmen pilots flew a total of 1,578 missions and never lost an aircraft over enemy territory. Sixty-six of those men died in action and thirty-two of them were taken as prisoners of war. Their planes, usually P-47 Thunderbolts or P-51 Mustangs, had red tail markings distinctive to the Tuskegee Airmen. Today, Walterboro honors the Airmen with a monument on the grounds of the Lowcountry Regional Airport.

Hot Springs, South Dakota
GPS: 43.436874, -103.493650
Access: 24/7
This memorial is located on the grounds of the Michael J. Fitzmaurice South Dakota Veterans Home.
In 1889, the Dakota Territorial Legislature met and passed a bill establishing the Dakota Soldiers’ Home to be located in Hot Springs, South Dakota. The object of the Home was to provide the care and subsistence for veterans and their wives and widows who meet eligibility requirements for admission.
The grounds cover approximately 193 acres offering a serene setting carved out of the beautiful Black Hills. By preserving the old and adding conveniences of the new, a true home environment exists.
Thank them for their service. We suggest you post a photo on Facebook of yourself with one of the residents.
Made in America: Hot Springs is located in the southernmost part of the Black Hills and in its uniqueness has many things to offer. There is the Wind Cave National Park where truly the “buffalo roam.” There’s Custer State Park where you can see many types of wild life from buffalo, elk, antelope, to LOTS of prairie dogs (so cute, so destructive), In Custer State Park you can ride the scenic Needles Highway. There’s Highway 71 south of Hot Springs that takes you to the Wild Horse Sanctuary and continues south into Nebraska historic Fort Robinson. Great roads everywhere!

Fallen Firefighters Memorial
500 E Capitol Ave.
Pierre, South Dakota
GPS: 44.367275, -100.344047
Access: 24/7. Two photos required.
This memorial was erected in 1996 when 26 firefighters names were placed on the monuments. Since then,18 more names have been added. The memorial is designated for firefighters who have suffered a death in the line of duty while performing fire-related services in, or for the state of South Dakota. Included are the names of four North Carolina National Guard who were working on Black Hills wildland fires, when they were killed (also see below). In 2016, wildland fire-fighter David Ruhl of Rapid City was the last to be added to the memorial, after sacrificing his life in 2015 while assisting fire crews in California.
An annual memorial service is conducted every fall, usually the first Sunday of October.
Eight miles northeast of Edgemont, South Dakota, another memorial honors the four North Carolina National Guard men, ages 35-50, who lost their lives when their C-130 air tanker crashed on July 1, 2012. If you would like to see that location where the incident occurred and the modest memorial there, it’s located at 43.3871 -103.7553.
Made in America: Pierre is the capitol of South Dakota. Oahe Dam is the largest dam along the Missouri River, just north of here, creating Lake Oahe, the fourth largest artificial reservoir in the United States. Lake Oahe stretches 231 miles up the course of the Missouri to Bismarck, North Dakota.
Big Tom’s Diner is a cool place to eat. Quick, good food, and simple. Located at 1415 E Wells Ave.

The Unicoi County Veterans Memorial Park was long a dream of locals for years. Acquisition of the present park property by the American Legion and the Centennial Lodge #491 Free Excepted Masons of Erwin set the wheels in motion for the dream to become a reality.
Trees removed from the property during site preparation were transported to a local sawmill and used to construct the park pavilion. Walls of the pavilion now are adorned with the World War One era county veteran plaques placed in memory in the original park.
Any veteran who lived or once lived in Unicoi County was eligible to be honored, and now over 5,000 names are etched into the marble slabs.
Made in America: More fine BBQ can be had at Hawg-N-Dawg. Try the unforgettable Hawg-N-Dawg. http://bit.ly/3auPzxS

Veterans Museum
100 Veterans Dr.
Halls, Tennessee
GPS: 35.894596, -89.403426
Access: 24/7 for scoring photo. Museum open M-F 9AM-4:30PM, Sat-Sun 2PM-5PM. Nominal entrance fee.
The Veterans’ Museum was founded on the site of The Dyersburg Army Air Base in 1997. The base had been a training facility during World War II for B-17 pilots.
While the Museum honors our veterans from that era with displays, photographs, and history of the base, they also honor all veterans with displays from the different wars and conflicts in which the U.S. has been involved.
Made in America: If you’re here around lunchtime, try the Just Divine Tea Room, located at 2257 Highway 88 W. Open for lunch Tuesday through Saturday, 11AM-2PM. Dessert is served until 3PM. Desserts like “...chocolate cobbler, hot-fudge cake, apple dumplings, or the decadent four-layer dessert, built on a base of pecan shortbread covered in chocolate pudding and cream-cheese whipped topping, drizzled with chocolate syrup and sprinkled with toasted pecans.” You get the idea.
And if you’re in the mood for BBQ, give Pig-N-Out at 225 N Front St, a try.

Veterans Memorial
1928 Veterans Plaza Dr.
Memphis, Tennessee
GPS: 35.146996, -89.993978
Access: 24/7
The Veterans Plaza contains memorials to the veterans of Memphis and Shelby County who were killed defending the freedom of the United States. The 2-acre site is home to a collection of memorials: World War I (established 1926 and 1932), World War II (2001), Korean War (2003), Vietnam War (2003), and Desert Storm (2003).
A plaque providing the history of Veterans Plaza states that “... through these memorials we pay honor to 1,525 Shelby County veterans who were killed in the 20th and 21st century wars.” An adjoining plaque provides commendation for Pete Dugan, a WWII veteran, “...honoring his steadfast commitment to the cause of Veterans Plaza in Overton Park.”
The Doughboy statue, which is the hallmark of the area, is one of the World War I memorials; made in 1926 of copper from pennies collected by local school children. A statue of Margaret Polk, the namesake of the “Memphis Belle,” honors the infamous B-17 bomber and its crew; the memorial was unveiled in October 2011 and sponsored by The Memphis Belle Memorial Association. www.memphisbelle.com
Made in America: There’s a reason the World Championship Barbecue Contest (Tom Lee Park, May 13-16) is held here, and why many consider Memphis to be the “reigning king of barbecue cities.” It’s because they’ve been doing it a LONG time, possibly back to the 1500s, when Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto came through with a herd of pigs and Native Americans showed him how to slow cook them over a smoky fire! Over 80 TONS of pork will be served! http://bit.ly/38xC92t
BBQ can be found in EVERY neighborhood, but just south of the memorial site, you’ll find the “World Famous” Bar-B-Q-Shop, known for its sauces. Vegetarians can try the Bar-B-Q Spaghetti, hold the pork butt. http://bit.ly/36ev5Gp
A few blocks further south, you’ll find the popular Central BBQ, a “smoked meat emporium offering Memphis-style eats, from dry-rub ribs to hot chicken wings.” Vegetarians can have a tasty portabella sandwich with smoked gouda cheese. Yum. https://eatcbq.com

Veterans Memorial Wall
Ralph Stout Park
353 N Shady St.
Mountain City, Tennessee
GPS: 36.479818, -81.808046
Access: 24/7
The Johnson County Veterans Memorial Wall is dedicated to all the men and woman who served in the armed forces from Johnson County. The wall lists those lost from the county during WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam and the Gulf Wars.
Made in America: When the first Euro-American explorers arrived in what is now the Mountain City area in the late 17th century, well-worn Native American trails passed through the area. In 1949, workers at the Maymead quarry (just south of Mountain City) discovered a cave with several early Mississippian-era (ca. 1000 A.D.) burials inside.
The Needham and Arthur expedition of 1673 is believed to have passed through the area, making use of the gap to the south. Explorer Daniel Boone made use of the same gap on an expedition to what is now Kentucky in 1769, and today part of the Daniel Boone Heritage Trail -- which follows Boone’s route -- passes through Mountain City.

The Texas Panhandle War Memorial was originally featured the first year of the Tour of Honor (2011). Over the years the memorial has continued to improve with the addition of a UH1D Huey helicopter, an artifact from the USS Arizona, and a new War Memorial Center building which houses a chapel, education area, reception area, gift shop and offices.
This impressive project pays tribute to soldiers who either lost their lives or went missing in action in all wars since the Spanish American War. Several large red granite stones, each dedicated to a different war, lists the names of veterans who came from the 26 counties of the Texas Panhandle. Learn more at http://bit.ly/2RDAMZe

Vietnam Memorial
8th St. & Ave. D
Big Spring, Texas
GPS: 32.229276, -101.498403
Access: 24/7
In 1987, the Big Spring Chamber of Commerce hosted the Moving Vietnam Wall. The community response to having the wall in Big Spring was huge and thus impacted the lives of thousands who visited the memorial. It was said at the time the wall was in Big Spring, day or night, the wall was never alone.
Recognizing the importance to the community, a committee was formed the following year to build a permanent memorial. The location of choice was none other than the same location where the Moving Vietnam Wall had been set up.
In 1988, the Vietnam Memorial Committee obtained a lease from the Howard County Junior College District for the two and a half acres land on which the Moving Wall had stood. The committee sponsored air shows for the next 3 years to raise money for the building of the memorial. This location overlooks what was Webb Army Air Field in 1942 and later became Webb AFB in 1951.
The Current memorial was dedicated in 1991 to Honor all American Servicemen, POW’s & MIA’s, there is also a small memorial chapel which has pictures and stories of Howard County service members.
Made in America: The Hangar 25 Air Museum is just a few miles from here and features many of the training aircraft used during the years Webb AFB was in operation. Tues-Sat 10AM-4PM. http://bit.ly/2v5szoR

Originally featured in 2014, the Van Zandt County Veterans Memorial has been continuously improved over the years, continuing to honor the region’s cherished military sons and daughters. Be sure to visit the new museum and gift store.
Plans to build the memorial formed in early 2006 when Ronald “Red” Montgomery, a retired Army National Guard member, approached Van Zandt County Judge Rhita Koches with the idea for a memorial. For months, Montgomery and Koches, along with Jim Stephens, shared the idea with veterans groups and anyone who would listen in hopes of finding a section of land to build the memorial.
Eventually, they approached the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), which agreed to loan 1.5 acres of land to the cause. In addition to loaning the property, TxDOT is making the Memorial a beautification project, and pledged to pay for half the cost of construction.

Veterans Memorial
2525 West New Hope Dr.
Cedar Park, Texas
GPS: 30.520250, -97.871129
Access: 24/7
The memorial is on top of a hill with steps, and is handicap accessible via a spiral walkway that wraps around the memorial three times.
The monument was unveiled on November 12, 2011 and has specific references to Texas. The base panel honoring the Navy depicts the George H.W. Bush Aircraft Carrier, and the panel for the Air Force shows a B-1 Bomber stationed at Dyes Air Force Base in Abilene. Each base panel features laser art that honors a different branch of the U.S. Military: the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Merchant Marines, and Coast Guard.
Customized brick pavers and bronze leaves engraved with soldiers’ names and dates of service, along with life-sized bronze sculptures of a World War I Doughboy(!) and a World War II U.S. Naval Officer, line the pathway leading up to Memorial Hill, where a two-story tall, black granite obelisk sits.
A towering, seven-foot tall bronze soldier, clothed in Army dress blues and holding an M-16 rifle stands guard. The soldier is the likeness of U.S. Army Specialist First Class Matthew Morris of Cedar Park, who was killed on April 6, 2008 by an improvised explosive device in Balad, Iraq while serving in Operation Iraqi Freedom. SPC Morris was awarded posthumously the rank of Sergeant along with the Bronze Star and Purple Heart.

Veterans Memorial
2025 S. Collegiate Dr
Paris, Texas
GPS: 33.639588, -95.523926
Access: 24/7
Originally featured in 2016, this impressive memorial has been a continuous work in progress and still being built to honor all veterans who have served our country in the past and are currently serving in our military. Located next to the Eiffel Tower at the Love Civic Center. The Memorial’s centerpiece is the Ring of Honor, an elevated ring of granite walls containing the names of all men and women from the five county Red River Valley area who made the ultimate sacrifice in a combat zone while in service to our country.
Surrounding the Ring of Honor will be double-sided granite walls etched with information and graphic depictions of each war or conflict beginning with the Texas Revolution up to the present war in Afghanistan, with room for depictions of future conflicts. Leading up to the Ring of Honor will be walkways with granite pavers engraved with the names of the men and women who served and were fortunate to return home, or those who are currently serving our country.
The memorial has a business office less than a mile away with a small gift shop and t-shirts for sale, located at 1025 South Collegiate Drive in the Village Shopping Center.
Instructions: Take a photo similar to the one above, along with rider flag and motorcycle. Refer to http://bit.ly/Rules_5-7 for photo verification. Scorers have final say whether standards are met.

9/11 Memorial
6702 New Life Cir,
San Antonio, Texas
GPS: 29.40444, -98.61491
Access: 24/7
The San Antonio 9/11 Memorial honors the victims and first responders of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in NYC, and will educate future generations about the effects of terrorism. This heartfelt memorial is visibly located on the access road of Highway 90W between Lackland Air Force Base and Kelly USA, on 10,000 square feet of land.
The memorial has four structures, each carrying symbolic meaning and significance, including the Wall of Freedom representing the Pentagon; an ascending and descending wall representing the Twin Towers in New York; and a 35 ft. stainless steel pillar standing for Flight 93 that crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. Surrounding the memorial are fountains, pools of water, and trees to enhance the beauty of this solemn place.
The Wall of Freedom symbolizes the freedom that our forefathers achieved after much sacrifice to build our great nation. The slit at the top of the Wall of Freedom symbolizes that although terrorists infiltrated our nation on 9/11, they could not destroy the American spirit. And the 35 ft. stainless steel pillar features an eternal flame that burns in memory of all those who perished.

A nice-looking work in progress. Military flags are flown on all patriotic holidays.
Made in America: Motorcycle roads! Highway 89 from US-6 (Spanish Fork/Price Canyon) to the southern border of the state is a great rural ride.
Highways 12 and 24 offer tremendous scenery and typically light traffic as they meander through a number of national and state parks. The “Hogs Back” road off of highway 12 is enough to stop your heart, especially on a motorcycle, but you’re missing a lot if you don’t take it. https://bit.ly/2RO1f6u
I-70 between I-15 to the west and state highway 10 to the east offers great scenery and wonderful gradual curves.
Fishlake National Forest: Any highway within the forest will be great traveling with lots of scenery to enjoy. https://bit.ly/2Gock96

This is somber memorial to the fallen, reverently depicted by a bronze statue of a wounded combat soldier at the burial site of a comrade, hand on the fallen soldier’s helmet atop an M-16, tears running down the soldier’s cheeks. One would be hard-pressed not to feel the vicarious or real loss felt by so many service members.

Marine Corps Memorial
Enter at N Marshall Dr. and U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial Access Rd.
Arlington, Virginia
GPS: 38.890423,-77.069736
Access: 6AM-Midnight, two photos required.
The famous USMC Memorial is adjacent to the Arlington National Cemetery and is in honor of the service and sacrifice of the men and women of the U.S. Marine Corps since 1775 when the branch was known as the Continental Marines.
The Iwo Jima statue became a symbol of hard-fought World War II battles in the South Pacific and the hard-charging Marines. On February 23, 1945, five days after Marines landed on the island of Iwo Jima, AP photographer Joe Rosenthal snapped the iconic image of five Marines and one Navy Corpsman raising the flag that claimed victory over the tallest point of the island, Mt. Suribachi.
The conquest of Mt. Suribachi was strategically important in the battle because the enemy had been using the vantage point to advise artillery fire. Victory over the rest of the island wouldn’t come until 31 days later.
The flag-raising in Rosenthal’s photo was actually the second Stars and Stripes to fly there that day. As the story goes, a flag was raised earlier in the day and upon seeing it, the Secretary of the Navy, who had been witnessing the battle, wanted to have it as a personal souvenir. When the Battalion Commander heard of that, he ordered his operations officer to retrieve the flag for the battalion and put up a replacement. As the lieutenant was leaving, he shouted, “And make it a bigger one!”
For more information on the memorial, visit their website http://bit.ly/2u1jBsv
Near the USMC Memorial is Arlington National Cemetery, the nation’s most hallowed burial ground. It was started in 1861 when a Union officer decided that the best place to inter Civil War dead was on the grounds of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee’s plantation, just across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C.
The cemetery contains the grave of President John F. Kennedy, the Tomb of the Unknowns, the USS Maine Memorial, Space Shuttle Challenger Cenotaph, Women in Service Memorial, and many others. More than 300,000 soldiers and their dependents are buried here and every Memorial Day, an American flag is placed at each grave. The cemetery portion is open to the public 365 days a year, 8AM-7PM. A visit here should be on every patriotic American's bucket list.

D-Day Memorial
3 Overlord Cir.
Bedford, Virginia
GPS: 37.330567,-79.535952
Access: 10AM-5PM daily. Trophy and IBA runs must include similar photo, otherwise Welcome Center, available 24/7, will suffice for non-Trophy or non-IBA runs.
Located in the town suffering the highest per capita D-Day losses in the nation, the National D-Day Memorial pays tribute to the Allied Forces participating in the largest land, sea, and air operation in history: the invasion of Normandy, June 6, 1944. The National D-Day Memorial features a lush English Garden, a haunting invasion scene with statuary and a stylized landing craft, and the striking Victory Arch, serving as a powerful permanent tribute to the valor, fidelity, and sacrifice of D-Day service men and women.
Bedford, with a population of only 3200, was one of 11 Virginia communities who provided a company of soldiers to the 29th Infantry Division in the National Guard. 30 of Bedford’s soldiers landed on Omaha Beach and by the end of the day 19 were dead.
Admission fees apply, $10 per adult. Buy tickets at the Welcome Center at bottom of hill, or online at https://www.dday.org
Made in America: For some unforgettable motorcycle roads, an entrance to the Blueridge Parkway is just a few miles up the road and can be used to access from I-64 north of Bedford. If coming west from eastern Virginia, try RT 60 out of SW Richmond to RT 24 and onto RT 460.

Battle of Great Bridge Memorial
1775 Historic Way
Chesapeake, Virginia
GPS: 36.721239, -76.239234
Access: 24/7
The Battle of Great Bridge occurred in the area now known as Chesapeake and is adjacent to the Albemarle & Chesapeake Canal. This battle played a critical role in the struggle for American independence. Four days later, as a direct result of the Patriot victory, the Virginia Convention adopted the first public declaration expressing a spirit of independence.
Made in America: For a quick meal, check out Big Woody's just outside the entrance to the park. It's a bar with great burgers and discounts for active duty and retired veterans! www.bigwoodys.net
Today, the Great Bridge Battlefield & Waterways Historic Park marks the site of the Great Bridge battlefield and is complete with an interpretive historic pathway and family picnic area. A brand new visitor center has been built and should be open by April 1. https://goo.gl/8khCw3

Coal Miners Memorial
200 Washington Sq.
Richlands, Virginia
GPS: 37.094859, -81.797386
Access: 24/7
The Coal Miners’ Memorial is a testament to the heritage of southwest Virginia. Created of black granite, the front wall represents the mine. Cascading water covering the entrance is reminiscent of the abundant coal resources and wealth flowing from Mother Earth. Etchings of the history of mining linger on the face of the mine, while the back wall bears the names of almost 1,100 miners from the surrounding counties who died in mine-related accidents.
Dedicated on May 17, 2003, the memorial stands as a tribute to the men and women who sacrificed all, and those who continue to make sacrifices to earn a living in the mining industry.
Made in America: For some good riding, the Back of the Dragon is 20 miles away in Tazewell. It features 32 miles and over 300 curves and offers the most spectacular views you can find in the Appalachians! http://bit.ly/2thQ5yF

GPS: 38.54427,-77.34351
Access: 9AM-5PM
The National Museum of the Marine Corps is a lasting tribute to the U.S. Marine Corps. Located adjacent to Quantico Marine Corps Base, the museum’s 210-foot tilted steel mast and glass atrium is impressive for any age.
Visitors learn about the history of the Marines by starting in the Leatherneck Gallery with hanging aircraft from the ceiling and tanks in the lobby. Journey into the first interactive exhibit that simulates the intensity of boot camp. Test your rifle skills with a laser-designated target acquisition M-16 at the rifle range. Feel the ground shake as you land on Normandy Beach on D-Day in 1945 or brave the cold elements in the winter battlefield room depicting the Korean War.
There is a gift shop, as well as the Tun Tavern offering a full lunch menu and the Devil Dog Diner which is a cafeteria-style restaurant that honors Marine mess operations
The museum is well worth the visit. Free admission.http://bit.ly/38bMMaS

Bennington Battle Monument
Monument Square
Walloomsac Rd. and Monument Ave.
Bennington, Vermont
GPS: 42.889221, -73.215564
Access: 24/7 grounds access (Monument tours and museum have seasonal hours)
Behind this handsome colonial minuteman stands a 306’ limestone monument, erected on the site of a weapons storehouse and the tallest structure in Vermont. It was built to commemorate the colonial victory over General Burgoyne on August 16, 1777. Untrained troops under the command of then Continental Colonel John Stark defeated Burgoyne’s best trained and equipped troops attempting to capture the armory. With most of his troops killed, captured or wounded, Burgoyne’s assault on Albany was forestalled and without the captured supplies, was forced to surrender his remaining 8,000 troops at the Battle of Saratoga on October 7, 1777.
Beginning May 1, from 10AM-5PM, an elevator takes visitors to the observation deck two-thirds of the way up the monument where you can see New York, Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Looking west, the battlefield itself is visible from six miles away in New York.
The wooden cutout of the Colonial Militiaman is placed on the grounds seasonally but if not available, the bronze statue of General Stark nearby is perfectly situated for a rally flag picture.
Made in America: The Bennington Museum is a short drive down W. Main St (Rt 9) and the Four Chimneys Inn and Restaurant offers a historic site for lunch or an overnight stay. https://bit.ly/31bEoWI

Fallen Heroes Memorial
789 Vermont National Guard Rd.
Colchester, Vermont
GPS: 44.500784, -73.160590
Access: Daylight hours. See note below.
Located at the Vermont Veterans Militia Museum and Library on the grounds of the Vermont National Guard’s Camp Johnson, the Fallen Heroes monument was raised in honor of the 11 Vermont National Guardsmen who lost their lives in Iraq. Although one of the smallest states, Vermont had the highest per-capita death rate in Iraq when the monument was erected in 2008.
NOTE: The museum is open Mon-Fri 10AM-3PM, and the curator says visitors outside those hours should stop at the gate and explain they’re there: to visit the Fallen Heroes Memorial at the museum.
Made in America: Located at the entrance to Camp Johnson, the museum itself is open Mon-Fri from 10AM-3PM (free admission) and is a must-visit. Featuring exhibits and displays going back to the 18th century, the museum includes a one-of-a-kind Sheridan’s Ride Civil War painting which, when completed in 1900, was the largest oil painting in North America at 17’ by 28’. Uniforms, weaponry (including a captured WWI German cannon) and a variety of aircraft are on exhibit.

Fallen Heroes Memorial
789 Vermont National Guard Rd.
Colchester, Vermont
GPS: 44.500784, -73.160590
Access: Daylight hours. See note below.
Located at the Vermont Veterans Militia Museum and Library on the grounds of the Vermont National Guard’s Camp Johnson, the Fallen Heroes monument was raised in honor of the 11 Vermont National Guardsmen who lost their lives in Iraq. Although one of the smallest states, Vermont had the highest per-capita death rate in Iraq when the monument was erected in 2008.
NOTE: The museum is open Mon-Fri 10AM-3PM, and the curator says visitors outside those hours should stop at the gate and explain they’re there: to visit the Fallen Heroes Memorial at the museum.
Made in America: Located at the entrance to Camp Johnson, the museum itself is open Mon-Fri from 10AM-3PM (free admission) and is a must-visit. Featuring exhibits and displays going back to the 18th century, the museum includes a one-of-a-kind Sheridan’s Ride Civil War painting which, when completed in 1900, was the largest oil painting in North America at 17’ by 28’. Uniforms, weaponry (including a captured WWI German cannon) and a variety of aircraft are on exhibit.

Vietnam Veterans Memorial
I-89NB Sharon Rest Stop (mile marker 139)
Sharon, Vermont
GPS: 43.727602, -72.426237
Access: 24/7
The Vermont Vietnam Veterans Memorial is located at the Sharon Rest Area on Interstate 89, northbound side in its Welcome Center. It honors the 7,236 Vermont servicemen and women who served in Vietnam and the 138 who died there. The Welcome Center also features a photo display and timelines of Vermont and Vietnam events from the beginning of US involvement through the 1975 evacuation of the US Embassy.
This is the first Vietnam Memorial erected in the United States and was chosen for its similarity in views to Highway One in Vietnam and because it is 138 miles from the Canadian Border (the same number as those from Vermont who died in the war). The stone memorial wall now features an eternal flame.
A stop on Memorial Day eve will find you part of the all-night vigil held every Memorial Day.
Made in America: While there, tour the Living Machine Waste Water Recycling System where native South Asia plant life treats the site’s waste water.
A bit north in South Royalton, you can visit the birthplace of Joseph Smith, the founder of the Mormon Church. A bit south in White River Junction the Main Street Museum features a “Cabinet of Curiosities,” an 18th and 19th century display of “stuff” – a museum about the roots of museums. https://bit.ly/2SkZGNJ

10th Mountain Division Memorial
3681 Mountain Rd.
Stowe, Vermont
GPS: 44.490809, -72.737578
Access: Private property, please visit between 9am-7pm and respect the property owners (no loitering, smoking or loud pipes).
Inspired by the Finnish Army whose ski soldiers kept the Russian Army at bay in 1939, Minnie Dole (who later formed the National Ski Patrol) proposed the formation of a mountain and snow trained fighting force. The 4th Corps of the 5th Army, the 10th Division fought in the alpine mountains of northern Italy and helped change the tide of war by cutting off supply routes, capturing the high ground and forcing the surrender of German soldiers in Italy.
Returning home, they virtually created the skiing sports industry in America. In Vermont, they started lodges, shops and ski schools, opened ski areas and inspired the formation of the Mountain Warfare School and Battalion in nearby Jericho, Vermont.
Today, this thirteen-foot-tall, 2200 pound bronze statue stands in testament to the larger than life impact these soldiers had on war, and on the subsequent peace. Inscribed on the plaque nearby are the names of the 6 Vermont Ski Troopers killed in action during WWII.
Made in America: The Trapp Family Lodge (of The Sound of Music fame) is open to visitors (https://www.trappfamily.com/) as is Ben & Jerry’s factory in nearby Waterbury. If you go, make sure to visit the graveyard of dearly-depinted flavors. https://benjerrys.co/31ckSJw
If you’re hungry, there are MANY choices nearby, with Doc Pond’s (https://www.docponds.com/) and Von Trapp Brewing Bierhall Restaurant (https://bit.ly/2S9TE26) coming to mind.

Stonehenge WWI Memorial
Stonehenge Dr.
Maryhill, Washington
GPS: 45.694342, -120.806115
Access: 7AM-Dusk
Erected as the nation’s first WWI memorial and dedicated in 1918 to the servicemen of Klickitat County, Washington, who died in the service of their country during the Great War, entrepreneur Sam Hill built Stonehenge Memorial is a monument to heroism and peace.
Hill erroneously believed that the original Stonehenge was constructed as a place of human sacrifice. Concluding there was a parallel between the loss of life in WWI and the sacrifices at ancient Stonehenge, he set out to build a replica on the cliffs of the Columbia as a reminder of those sacrifices and the “incredible folly” of the war.
Guided by leading authorities on archaeology, astronomy, and engineering, Hill combined their knowledge to duplicate, as nearly as possible, the original size and design of the ancient Neolithic ruin in England.
Made in America: In 1995, the Klickitat County Veterans’ Memorial was erected near Hill’s Stonehenge to honor those who have died in service of their country since WWI. The project was a partnership between Maryhill Museum of Art and the Klickitat County Veterans Association.

“Forgotten Heroes” Memorial
Andrews St. NE & 26th Ave. NE
Moses Lake, Washington
GPS: 47.188459, -119.324573
Access: 24/7
The Forgotten Heroes Memorial was erected to honor the 87 servicemen killed on December 20th, 1953, while returning home from the Korean War for Christmas. The victims were part of a flight of 106 servicemen and 10 crew members aboard an Air Force C124 Globemaster departing from what was then Larson AFB. The men were chosen through a lottery to come home from the Korean theater for Christmas as part of “Operation Sleigh Ride.” The plane crashed on takeoff killing all but 29.
Larson AFB was deactivated in June 1960 and is now the Grant County International Airport.

Veterans Memorial
Diah Veterans Park and Ft. Nunez Gaona
Holden Creek & Bayview Aves.
Neah Bay, Washington
GPS: 48.368990, -124.625570
Access: 24/7
Built on waterfront property overlooking Neah Bay, the structure is constructed of six large cedar columns to resemble a traditional Makah longhouse. The columns are from a tree felled on the property. Along its western side is a tall fort-like fence of logs. The site bears the flags of the United States, Spain, the Makah Nation, Washington state, the Nuu-chah-nulth Native Peoples of Canada, and each branch of the United States military. A stone monument bears the names of Neah Bay area veterans who have served since World War I. The fact that all returned home alive is a source of Makah pride.
Made in America: Calvins Crab House, next door, is 4.5 star rated on both Yelp and Tripadvisor.
Nearby Cape Flattery is the northwestern-most point in the lower 48. Although a hike is required to reach the tip of the cape, the road into the trailhead is well-paved, twisty and worth the ride, even if you don’t take the hike.

A-3 Skywarrior Memorial
Langley Blvd. & Larkspur Circle
Oak Harbor, Washington
GPS: 48.331934, -122.668579
Access: 24/7
Dedicated in October of 2017, the A-3 Skywarrior Memorial features a beautifully restored A-3 Skywarrior and honors those who flew the A-3 and perished.
The A-3 Skywarrior Strategic Bomber (aka “The Whale”) was a carrier-based aircraft in service from 1952-1991. It could carry up to 12,000 lb of weaponry in the bomb bay, nearly as much as the Air Force’s F-105 that could carry 14,000 lb. on its five “hardpoints.”
Directions to the memorial: From Highway 20 on Whidbey Island, turn onto W. Ault Field Rd . The turn is marked by the display of A-6 and EA-6B (featured in TOH 2012) aircraft on the west side of the highway. Drive West on Ault Field Rd approximately 1.8 miles to Langley Blvd. Drive down Langley Blvd approximately .4 miles. Turn right onto Larkspur Circle before reaching the Langley Gate entrance to NAS Whidbey Island. The memorial site is on Navy property, but outside the security perimeter, and is accessible to the public.

Firefighters Memorial Park
2031 2nd Ave. S
Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin
GPS: 44.374696, -89.848409
Access: 24/7. A 50 yard wheelchair-accessible path leads to the memorial. Illuminated at night.
Every year, approximately 100 firefighters die in the line of duty in the United States. The Wisconsin State Firefighters Memorial Board of Directors has chosen to provide a unique and lasting way to pay tribute to firefighters from the State of Wisconsin who have made this ultimate sacrifice while in service to their communities. This tribute has taken the form of a Memorial Park dedicated to preserving their memory.
The vision of the WSFM was to create a park with a natural and scenic setting to house a memorial to our firefighting heroes from across this great State of Wisconsin. The serenity of the setting allows visitors to be alone with their thoughts and emotions, and at the same time realize that their loved one will never be forgotten.

Mountaineer Military Museum
345 Center Ave.
Weston, West Virginia
GPS: 39.039994, -80.464052
Access: 24/7 for scoring photo
Childhood friends were drafted into their country’s service and only one made it home. Local resident Ron McVaney made a graveside promise, “I’ll never let anyone forget you guys.” Mr. McVaney had collected hundreds of pieces of memorabilia over the last thirty-five years, and upon retiring, told his wife Barbara (in photo above)that the time had come to share their memorabilia with the public, and the Mountaineer Military Museum became a reality.
The Museum just recently added 2,100 sq. feet and created more than 18 exhibits, featuring personal and historical items from the Korean, Vietnam, and Civil War. They also created a reflection room, a place where we can go and honor those who have fallen before us. They promise that if you stop in, you won’t be disappointed.
There are several monuments located in front of the building and the purple heart monument is the monument to be scored.
Entry to the museum is 10AM-4PM Saturdays, or by appointment by calling 304-472-3943. Free admission, donations encouraged.

Kneeling Soldier and Battlefield Cross on granite base. “The Fallen Comrade, All Gave Some – Some Gave All”
Made in America: Evanston is, was and will always be a railroad town. It began in 1868 when the Union Pacific Railroad approached from the east. The city offers a great 3.5 mile walking tour of historic railroad sites or you can ride them much quicker if you want.
Evanston also has a river walk in the downtown area. The Historic Old Post Office is just around the corner from the TOH site and there’s a Doughboy Memorial in front of the Courthouse.
The Mirror Lake Scenic Byway, Highway 150, is 80 miles of unforgettable beauty in the Uinta Mountains just south of town.
Make sure to check nearby TOH sites in Colorado and Utah before leaving town as something may be closer than the next site in Wyoming.

Soldier at Battle Cross, surrounded by columns containing names of veterans who served from Fremont County. The statue honors all veterans, but especially our fallen heroes.
Made in America: Lander came into being in 1884 before Wyoming was a state. It has grown into a central hub for Fremont County and all the wonderful recreation associated with the area. Hiking, boating, fishing, hunting and anything associated with the out doors is available here.
Of course, food for TOH riders is always important and you will find plenty of excellent places all around the city. The Museum of the American West (http://bit.ly/36Ys6TK) and Fremont County Pioneer Museum, (inspirock.com) are all close to this stop and will help you gain a better understanding of your current surroundings and history of the west.

Veterans Park
138 E Main St.
Lovell, Wyoming
GPS: 44.837282, -108.390591
Access: 24/7
Lovell’s beautiful park was dedicated in 2002 by Apollo 13 Commander, Captain James Lovell. Every branch of the Armed Forces is recognized, and every war for the last two centuries is acknowledged. The remarkable mural on the park’s east side immortalizes forces on the land, in the air, and at sea. A large medallion dedicated to those who serve their nation, is at the South side of the park. Take your time to visit each part of the park and the great honor to all Veterans shown here.
Made in America: Lovell is the western gateway to the Big Horn Mountains and the Big Horn Canyon National Recreation Area. The town was built in 1925 and gained fame for it’s great family atmosphere and weather. Lovell is a busy place for outdoor events all year long, from horse back riding to motorcycle riding in the beautiful surrounding mountains. The Brandin’ Iron (http://bit.ly/2TumyMP) and Burger Barn (http://bit.ly/2TuOxMh) restaurants are just down the street and portions are made for hungry ranch hands and bikers.

Veterans Memorial Monument
American Legion Park
105 N Madison Ave.
Pinedale, Wyoming
GPS: 42.868437, -109.869551
Access: Dusk-dawn
The impressive Veterans Memorial Monument is 68,000 pounds of glossy, black granite, engraved with the names of those who served and surrounding a central column that is topped with a bronze sculpture of two soaring eagles with the inscription “Honor, Service, Pride.” Members of Fremont Peak VFW Post 4801 conducted extensive research with veterans’ names going back several generations to the Spanish American War and they continue to honor those men and women every day at American Legion Park.
Made in America: Pinedale is a mountain town on the Centennial Scenic Byway at the base of the majestic Wind River Mountain Range. Wildlife outnumber residents ten-fold and animals are commonly seen any day of the year. There are resident moose found in town parks, and mule deer cautiously make their way across streets and driveways. Mountain lions and bobcats have been spotted sunning on rocks, and gray wolves and elk herds can be seen loping alongside fences near wilderness areas.
If you want to experience life of a mountain man in the 1800s, visit the Museum of the Mountain Man (http://bit.ly/2TxqkF4) before heading out of town. Remember as you leave town all the wildlife you saw in town, even more will be waiting for you on the roads out to your next stop. So be alert.

War Memorial
N 3rd and E Main St.
Sundance, Wyoming
GPS: 44.405669, -104.379517
Access: 24/7
The Crook County War Memorial honors local area WWI, WWII, Korea and Vietnam Veterans. The small twon came together when everyone said they couldn’t do enough to honor all the Veterans from Crook County who served their country in wartime.
Made in America: Sundance is nestled in the valley of the Bearlodge Mountains on the western edge of the Black Hills. This is and has been a western town since being established in 1875 and it’s most famous person is the Sundance Kid (Harry Longabaugh). He got his name from Sundance as this was the starting place of his criminal activity. He stole a gun, horse and saddle from a local rancher and then got to spend some quality time in the city jail. You can visit the free city museum in the county court house which still has the jail cell “The Kid” stayed in.
Sundance is still a wide open frontier town with beautiful skies to enjoy and breathtaking mountains. It’s just a short distance to Devils Tower which is really a must see if your in the area. For the Harley riders, it’s time to get your local shirt or poker chip while in town at the Sundance Harley shop at 220 E Main St.
Before you get back on your motor to leave town, take a minute to go across the street to the Bearlodge Bakery. This small town bakery is a place you know you need to stop. If not there, then down the street to the Dog Pound Grill and Ice Cream, where “All Strays Welcome.” http://bit.ly/2Rhy0bG
Enjoy the ride as you leave town but remember the wildlife in this part of the country way out number us humans.

GPS: 43.646339, -108.213871
Access: 24/7
This Veterans Memorial features a nicely-restored M2 105mm Howitzer and guards standing by. In front of the Hot Springs Museum.
Made in America: Thermopolis is in a hot springs area, so consider taking time to relax those weary muscles and enjoy a soak in one of the excellent hot springs in and around town. Of course hot springs are also what attracted dinosaurs to the area and a wonderful museum is available just down the street. They are still uncovering new finds all the time from those that stayed in the hot springs too long. Dinosaurs, not people.
Thermopolis is a town of over 3000 residents, which is large for Wyoming so take a break for food or motel for the night. It’s a long ways to the next TOH stop so plan accordingly. Hot Springs Museum at the memorial is free to veterans so come enjoy.
