- Riding to remember – that’s the focus of one motorcycle club this week. Its members are all firefighters from Illinois and across the globe.
[...], the bikers leave Chicago Tuesday on the “Chicago to New York 9/11 Memorial Ride.” They will head to all three 9/11 crash sites – the site of the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and the field in Shanksville, Pa., where passengers forced hijacked United Flight 93 to crash.
Chicago Fire Department Lt. Tom Maloney went to Ground Zero in New York after the attacks brought down the World Trade Center towers and the experience changed his life.
That’s why he started this ride nine years ago and his passion is why so many fellow firefighters have joined him.
Safe ride boys and girls.
