America's Ride 911
Channel: Stephen Weber
Date: 2011-08-22

Each year, Thousands of motorcyclists from across the country ride from Somerset, Penn., to Arlington County to New York City in memory of the first responders -- police, firefighters and emergency medical technicians -- who risked their lives in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

The whole purpose of the ride is to remember those that died, to honor the ones who went through that building to help people. The Marlboro Man (Larry Noon) and myself picked up the ride in Times Square Sunday Morning 8/21/2011. Bikers were in from all over the country, many of them where not only in NYC for the first time, for many it was the first time they were in a town with buildings more than 6 stories high. What great people, with a country like America with all these good people in it, we will make it past all the doom and gloom we see everyday playing out on the TV.

After am emotional ceremony at ground zero, Larry and I went off alone, headed to midtown, then down to the Carnegie Deli for our faviorite Pastriami-On-Rye.
