Welcome Banners |
Caribou Inn, Caribou, ME |
The Maine State H.O.G. Rally has always been grateful to those in uniform who serve and have served our country so we can live and ride free. For the past few years, the Rally has presented H.O.G. Welcome Banners to specific active duty military members to let them know how much we care about what they do for us and our country. The Rally again this year will have these banners available for Rally attendees to sign and send a message to our troops. Be sure to stop by and say thank you to our troops by signing these banners. It takes just a few minutes to pass on your personal thanks to those willing to make the ultimate sacrifice, and lets them see we really do care and understand that freedom isn’t free. |
