POW/MIA flag on display below Old Glory

On Sunday, Aug. 1, the Desert Riders dedicated a newly erected flag pole and flag in the Burns Cemetery. Desert Rider president, Craig LaFollette presented the following dedication:

“This flag pole is an example of a vision to provide our community with a flag in our cemetery that is predominately displayed. The Desert Riders came together and made a vision become a reality.

This is an example of a group of people, the Desert Riders, who came together through a common bond, a passion for motorcycles, working together and accomplishing what individuals cannot.

On behalf of all the Desert Riders we dedicate this flag to all those who have selflessly served our country, to all veterans here or gone and to the citizens of this great community.

You will also note, we will display the POW/MIA flag below Old Glory that we tell the world that they are never forgotten.”
