In addition to the 400 “Old Glories” flapping in the breeze, an honor guard of approximately 200 Motorcycles and Hot Rods will be positioned next to the flags. The riders and drivers will be greeting and offering respects to the Families and Friends motoring by who are on their way to ceremonies and to visit with loved ones interred inside the Cemetery.
