Retired Air Force Fighter Pilot Col. Gary West is dedicating this coming fall to raising $60,000 for the Veteran’s Organization Folds of Honor, a non-profit that provides educational support for spouses and children of America’s fallen and disabled soldiers. Beginning August 1st, Gary will ride his bike from Maine to Key West with stops along the way to raise awareness and promote donations for this important cause.

Says West, “I am raising funds and awareness for Folds of Honor. This group is changing lives and supporting the legacies of our finest Americans.” You can track West’s progress, learn more and make a donation at www.Patriothonorride.com.
