The Ground Pounders Riding Club and the Florida State College Foundation presented a police escorted ride and rally to provide scholarships for wounded veterans and their families to attend college at Florida State College at Jacksonville.

The ride was held Saturday, September 22, 2012, at the Adamec Harley-Davidson on Baymeadows Road in Jacksonville. Before and after the ride, there was a Military Vehicle and Weapons Display by the Friends of Fort Clinch History of the American Soldier. There was also a military aviation flyover, 50/50 raffle, door prizes, food, and live entertainment by the Deck Dogz. If that wasn’t enough to keep you entertained there was also vendor exhibits, retail booths and a bike show.

Richard Nunn was a guest speaker and Jaxson De Ville played a mean set of drums. This was the second year this event was held, and hopefully this event will be held for years to come as the cause is definitely a worthy one.
