​The Jasper County Traveling Wall Committee will hold an Escort Ride on May 23, 2018 in Rensselaer, IN.  This ride is a way to welcome home the 58,000 men and women who never made it home.

By taking part in the ride you will be honoring the ultimate sacrifice that these service members made. The ride will begin at the Fairgrounds and travel East into Rensselaer.  We will take a short route through town and end at Brookside Park. All riders will proceed through the Park and then exit following the exit route West on Bunkum Road.

Participating riders can begin staging at the Jasper County Fairgrounds off of IN 114 West of Rensselaer, IN no earlier than 2:00 pm on May 23rd.

Riders safety briefing will be at 3:30.

Roll out will begin at 4:00 sharp.

Any individuals who do not take part in the safety briefing will not be allowed to participate in the escort ride, no exceptions will be made.

The committee is earnestly appreciative for the support that the community has shown for this event. The committee still requires your assistance with funding the last details of this project. There are still advertising fees, printed materials, landscaping arrangements, signage, and portable lavatories to be funded.

Donations will be taken up to the day of the event. All donations can be made to the Jasper County Veterans Council through the Veterans Service Office at the Jasper County Courthouse located in Rensselaer, IN.
