Our American Legion Riders' joined forces with numerous groups to ecsort the remains of soldiers from the 1860's to the 1880's who died protecting the then Arizona Territory. The escort took place from Tucson to the Southern Arizona Veterans Cemetery on May 15. An internment ceremony took place the next day. Approximately 200
bikes road the course, leading the flag draped remains which were carried in 2 large trucks. Each casket was draped with the 35 star flag of the period.
Here are some pictures of the 2 day event.
