SEGMENT #1: 9/11 Memorial Motorcycle Ride
GUEST: Gary Goldman, Founder and Director
ISSUE: First Responders
Two decades beyond the terrible events of September 11, 2001, there is importance in remembering and honoring those who lost their lives in New York, Pennsylvania and Washington DC. Gary Goldman organized the first 9/11 Memorial Motorcycle Ride as a companion to a 9/11 Walk over the Ravenel Bridge. Since then, the ride has grown to its own event, held this year on Sunday, Sept. 14. Goldman discusses his motivation for the ride, provides details on the event, and talks of the parts of the community that have joined forces to make the ride successful.  Whie this police-escorted ride is free for participants; the event does raise money which is donated to area veterans in need.
