This weekend will mark the beginning of a bicycle trek across the United States in honor of the crew members of United and American flights 93, 175, 11 and 77. Airline Ride Across America will celebrate the courage of these crewmembers and raise money for the Flight 93 Memorial in Shanksville, the World Trade Center Memorials and the Pentagon Memorial. The participants of the trek, including United Captain Rob Zettel, will ride thirty-three (33) days, one day in memory of each crewmember to raise public awareness of their sacrifice, sustain their memory, and insure that they will not be forgotten.
The journey starts at 8:00 am this Sunday, April 2nd at Dockweiler Beach which is adjacent to LAX. Los Angeles AFA Members will attend the start of the ride in uniform. We encourage every Member to follow the bike ride through the website,
www.airlineride.org and help spread the word in all of our communities about this fantastic tribute and cheer them on their way across the country.
