A very special part of the Wreaths Across America Houston event is the arrival of the wreaths. The wreaths take a week long journey coming from Maine on our dedicated trucks to Houston.
 
Early on Saturday morning, on the day of the event, the trucks line up and several hundred motorcycles fall into formation to form a rolling tribute. The police escorted procession travels to the Houston National Cemetery to be met by thousands of attendees. On this page you will see the video of one of our escorts, an amazing site to see. We hope you will join us as we honor our American military…
 
The Motorcycle Escort is open to all riders – free of charge!
 
* No other vehicles permitted
* Destination is Houston National Cemetery
* The ride should take about 30-40 minutes
 
Meet in New Caney at Academy Parking Lot (21770 Market Place Drive)
6:00am - Staging begins
6:45am - Safety briefing

I might try to make this one..thank you for sharing. I normally avoid most group rides but I'd imagine this one will be escorted and a little safer than most.
