The 2nd Annual Memorial Ruck will also be held on October 24th. It will start at the Beirut Memorial at a time to be determined, travel along the greenway to Camp LeJeune’s Main Gate and back to our Memorial. This route parallels the original memorial trees originally planted in honor of the fallen. The ruck is 10.23 miles, representing the month and day of the bombing.
On October 24th the 5th Annual Memorial Ride will be held by Strength & Honor Motorcycle Club of North Carolina. As of right now, the ride will start at New River Harley Davidson and end at the Beirut Memorial.

These are strange times… and none of us need to be told to Remember our Brothers. It’s Memorial Day Weekend, a time for our Country to remember… we Remember every day. And always Remember their Families…
Do what you can, do what you want, I know our Brothers and Sisters will always Remember…
