Post 104 Independence Day Parade
American Legion Riders Post 104
Pinellas Park, Florida
|
The American Legion Riders of Post 104 in Pinellas Park, Florida had
the distinct honor of being invited to ride in the Independence Day
Parade for Kenneth City. We assemblied at Dixie Hollins High School at
8:30 am and prepared ourselves for the ride through the beautiful
little berg of Kenneth City. Riders who contributed to this event were
Big Bob McGann, Joe Arms, Lowell St. Cyr "Saint", Frank Dolsak
"Gunner", Bob Gleason, Ken Hoover and new member Dick. It was a special
honor riding today with Dick who is a Korean War Veteran. Thanks for
joining us Dick and I look forward to many more rides together. |

After the event the American Legion Riders of Post 104 rallyed at Ken Hoovers and shared a few brews and some conversation. It was a really hot morning and we had to stop on the way to let our engines cool down. By time we got to Ken's place everyone was ready for a brew or two . . . or three. Happy birthday America, we love you. It was a good morning and we got to see the people of Kenneth City from a different angle, the road. And the good thing is we didn't get any tickets, not even to the Policemen's Ball! |

| We stopped at
Ken Hoovers Place after the event and swapped a bunch of lies. We got
to meet Dick's wife and knock down a few beers. It was a welcome
respite after a hard morning of riding, 2 mph through crowded
neighborhoods. I wanted to thank Kenneth City on behalf of all the
American Legion Riders of Post 104 for remembering us and
inviting us to their celebration of our Independence Day. It was
an honor to ride representing the American Legion Post 104. |
