2nd Annual Patriot Ride For Our Heroes
Friday, October 24, 2014 at 12:00 PM – Saturday, October 25, 2014 at 5:00 PM (PDT)
La Quinta, CA
Patriot Ride For Our Heroes was born fall of 2012 when Tim Esser took his personal ride to Twenty-Nine Palms with several wounded marines to deliver the American Flag. Their spark, energy, and enthusiasm set this new ride ablaze. Growing up with a father who was D-8 (8th day on Normandy), and a mother who was very involved with the USO, Tim has always wanted to have a ride that will benefit local charities associated with Active Military, Veterans, Fire, & Police, hence the Patriot Ride!
