Update from Gary N. on the Michigan Vietnam Memorial ride… “Weather looks Great for the Sunday ride to Mt Pleasant! We will leave Sandy’s at 9:01 and head over to the BP Station on M-20 (also called 8 Mile Road – at the 131 exit on 131)! So, anyone wanting to meet up with us at the BP, we should be there by 9:52 and plan on leaving there at 10:16! From the BP it should take us a good hour to reach Island Park in Mt Pleasant! Looking for ideas of places to eat around Mt Pleasant and then, as always, we should stop for a Heath Flurry on the way back! And little info on the Memorial: The Michigan Vietnam Memorial began as a project by the Vietnam Veterans chapter in Mt. Pleasant. The vets constructed a walk bridge connecting the main park to the Pickens ball fields. With the help of volunteers and donations, these veterans built a flag gallery and a series of brick monuments with plaques that bear the names of all Michigan servicemen and one servicewoman who were killed in Vietnam or are still listed as Missing in Action. A one-star designation next to the name indicates * Missing in Action. Double stars next to the name indicates **Died in Captivity. An information building was added to the site in 1991 where visitors can acquire information about the Memorial and Vietnam. Island Park is located at the corner of Main and Mosher in downtown Mt. Pleasant. Hope to see you Sunday! So, Saddle Up and Let’s Ride!”
