This past year and the first year I rode, I rode in honor of officers from Mississippi.  Both of these officers fell in the month of July, but more importantly, both of these officers have incredible families.  

The first year I rode in honor of Deputy Bill Walters (EOW 7/15/07) who served with the Kemper County Sheriffs Departent.  This past year I rode in honor of Sheriff Gary Welford (EOW7/21/10) of the George County Sheriffs Department.  

Both of these great man served not only in the capacity of Law Enforcement, but each served in the United States Navy before a career in LE.  

Never forget.
