Safety Briefing:  8:45 – 8:55  AM 
9:00  AM:  Begin procession to Kaufman.  We will have police and  constable 
escort.  There will be no  PGR road guarding.  Flag bikes are  encouraged since 
the organizers are trying to get the town to turn out for this  event.  The 
park is on the south  side of town, next door to the city library and across 
the street from the  junior high so parking should not be a problem. 
Hopefully you have already heard  that the AVTT (American Veterans Traveling 
Tribute) Vietnam Wall is being  purchased by Kaufman County to be on permanent 
display at our  veteran’s park in Kaufman.  We are  taking delivery on 
Saturday,  August 30, 2008.  Riders  and others will meet the Wall in Seagoville at 
9:00 AM and the procession will come down SH 175, around the  square in 
Kaufman and out to the site on FM1388.  
There we'll have ceremonies, some  elected officials' comments and the 
ceremonial passing of the stewardship to  Kaufman  County (actually, the  American 
Legion). Afterward, there will be free lunch at the American  Legion. 
 


Weather:  As of Sunday, August 24, 2008, partly cloudy with a high  of 91 
degrees.  As always, one of  the keys to proper hydration is to start hydrating 
early.  The day prior to the mission is not too  soon to start.  It is, in 
fact,  recommended by the experts. 
There will be no flag/water truck requested for this  mission. 
Iron Horses if you can, cages are always  welcome and appreciated.   
 

Respectfully  Submitted, 
John  Kisel 
North Texas Ride  Captain
