this wonderful community of hugo wyoming and we have a memorial ride for my son coming through h in august seventeenth a week and a half from now and we're here at the encouragement of the businesses in town that i should be here raising money for my son's memorial ride during the rally for those that can attend the right so just in korea and the other thing i'm here for is to in crease the awareness of a project called honor and remember since the history of our country there has never been a national symbol to honor our fallen  gold star father gold star father and gold star mothers are parents of sons or daughters who have fallen in service to our country and he designed this flag that you can take a picture out side when you go out there is a full size fly there but this is a flag that has been designed to honor our fallen military sent seven hundred seventy five so i'm also increasing awareness and the proceeds half of the proceeds from my son's ride are going to honor
