WELCOME HOME Escort for the Troops Sunday, June 13th

Bikers United members joined up with AMVETS Riders, AMVETS Post 98, the West Plains Police and Fire Department, Howell County Rural Fire Department and Ambulance, Missouri Troop G Highway Patrol, Howell County Sheriff's Department, and the Willow Springs Police and Fire Department in welcoming home the 1138th. We met and set up at the scales just north of Willow Springs and waited for the 2 buses to arrive, before the escort ride back through Willow Springs and into West Plains to the Civic Center. It was truly heart warming to see the people lined along the roads cheering and waving American flags. What an awesome way to show our troops how MUCH we appreciate their service!

7th Annual Bicycle Safety Event

WOW! Did we ever have a LOT of bikes to give away! Just under 200 lucky tickets were called, and almost every child in attendance went home with a new bike. All of the kids got free helmets and most also got one of our purple event t-shirts. The evening went smoothly, and everyone was kept very busy as the children lined up to do the safety course, and the families enjoyed the games, food, ice cream from "Spring Dipper" and lots of critters from "Fish Land." So many people helped out, and we can not thank you all enough. A HUGE "thanks" goes to Dana and Rick Teeple for organizing and taking on this monumental task. WELL done, everyone!
