Each day this week, Konk Life will be sharing with you images of banners
prepared by the children of Sigsbee Charter School in preperation for
the upcoming Soldier Ride. Today we want to share with you one of the
banners hanging along the route. Key West is the first and only
Community for Soldier Ride that welcomes these injured soldiers with
banners showing our support for them and the sacrifices they have made.
Soldier Ride has been coming to Key West since 2006 and for the past
nine (9) years the Key West Military Affairs Committee (MAC) and the
NASKW CPOA (Chief Petty Officers Association) have been honored to
sponsor and organize this event. This Saturday, January 11th the 44
Warriors and their support staff will ride down RT1 from the Boca Chica
NAS making their way to the opening ceremonies at Bayview Park. Their
route will take them past the Triangle, down North Roosevelt to White
Street, down Eaton Street to Simonton, turn on Front Street to Duval and
then to Truman Avenue back to Bayview.
Members of the community are encouraged to cheer the Warriors along the
route as they reclaim their confidence and strength. Opening Ceremonies
will be at Bayview Park starting at 11:45. It is recommended that you
be at your chosen location along the route by 10:15 – 10:30 AM
Help make a difference and cheer the Warriors on
