Man Rides Horse Across America To DC For Veterans
Bill and Blackie rode the Custis Trail into Arlington, and with a Police escort through Arlington to the Arlington Memorial Bridge. I borrowed a bicycle from Linda Neimeir, and rode with Bill. We started at Bon Air Park where we had camped the night before. Bill was escorted by the Arlington Police Department through Arlington. We stopped at The Marine Corps, Iwo Jima Memorial. There Bill met two Marines and one of them got on Blackie. We also got some photos with the police officers. The police escorted us up to the Arlington Memorial Bridge where their jurisdiction ended. From there Bill rode over the bridge by the Washington Monument, and on to the National Mall area where he met with veterans whom he delivered some of the letters of thanks and encouragement he had collected.
