American Legion William Bloys Post 2 Arizona

He also suggested that we attend two State ALR meetings, one in Chino Valley and another in West Phoenix. Six of the motorcyclist at Post 2, Charlie Prest, Eddie Rodriguez, Pam and Dave McBride, Sonny Carrasco and George Field, attended these two meetings to obtain information about the ALR Organization and to gather information to assist in forming our own ALR chapter at Post 2. On May 4, 2005, t

he formation of the Post 2 ”American Legion Riders” motorcycle group was approved by the Post Governing Council. ALR members participate in parades and other ceremonies which are in keeping with the Aims and Purposes of the American Legion. To promote motorcycle safety programs and to provide a social atmosphere for American Legion members who share the same interest. To use our Association to promote and support programs of the American Legion. Our riders visit other posts to provide Post 2 a greater visibility in the larger community of the American Legion. Some of our motorcycle trips have been to military hospitals to provide needed supplies to wounded servicemen. Other rides have been to welcome wounded servicemen returning from Iraq. We also ride in the Veterans Day Parade in downtown Tempe. On Memorial Day, we ride to two local cemeteries to place flags on the graves of more than 2,000 war veterans. We also help other Post 2 groups with donations to support their functions. George Field
