Let's Roll Flight 93 Memorial Ride

Concept

September 11, 2011 marks the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the United States – as well as the first American victory in the war on terrorism.

Together, the passengers and crew of Flight 93 became true heroes who took action in defense of our country. We will never forget them.

That is why we are organizing Let’s Roll, a motorcycle event to honor the 40 heroes and to raise funds for the Flight 93 National Memorial in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

Currently, there are nine groups of 40 bikes ("flight") located in eight flight paths – Erie, Pittsburgh, Meadville/Conneaut Lake, Williamsport, Cranberry Township, Fairfax, VA, Philadelphia and Pottsville. On September 10, 2011, each group will converge at the memorial site in Shanksville.

Each bike will be issued a memorial flag bearing the name of one of the 40 heroes of Flight 93 that will be attached to their motorcycle during the ride to Shanksville. They also will receive an exclusive patch and t-shirt bearing the official “Let’s Roll: Flight 93 Memorial Ride” design.

All proceeds raised from the ride will directly benefit the Flight 93 National Memorial Campaign.
