IA/IL QUAD CITIES - Thank The SEALs Motorcycle Ride 2015 goes farther than thanking Robert O'Neill of SEAL Team 6, the man who killed Osama bin Laden and the same SEAL part of the team that eliminated the terrorists who took Captain Phillips, his ship and crew hostage. This ride will create awareness about the SEALs and Special Forces who protect and keep America free.
Thank The SEALs Motorcycle Ride 2015 will begin at 9 a.m., Saturday, June 27, 2015, at Veterans Memorial Park, 1645 23rd St., Bettendorf, IA. Participants will then ride across the country for four days to Texas. The opening ceremony will be led by the Mayor of Bettendorf and City Administrator and followed by a police escort.
In addition to generating awareness, the ride will also raise much-needed funds for Robert O'Neill's foundation, Your Grateful Nation, which was set up not for just Navy SEALs but for all special forces and their families.
