Memorial Day 2011;
Rebecca Linda was singing our original song "Lady Warrior" since they were featuring Women Veterans during Vietnam (including a poster and write up about what she did during that "era"). The chorus says "She's a lady warrior, an American soldier, guarding the Red, White, and Blue..." Notice the "Lady" Marine guarding the American flag which fell just as Linda was about to sing. The wind broke the flag pole!!
Many Bikers, also Vets, attended the 2011 Angel Fire Memorial Day Program.
