Labor Day Motorcycle Ride Planned

{Frankfort, Kentucky}...Volunteers are raising money for the September 2nd Labor Day weekend ride, called Ride II Remember. More than 1,000 motorcycle riders will be departing from more than a dozen cities during the ride. The money raised will be used for the construction of a memorial at the entrance to Boone National Guard Center in Frankfort. The Guard says the memorial is intended to honor all Kentucky Guard members who have served in any duty status from 1912 to the present. A total of $1.2 million is needed for the construction of the memorial. Motorcycle riders hope to raise $100,000.
