Honoring the victims of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, Pepperdine University plans to once again erect the "Wave of Flags", which is a dramatic display of American flags on its expansive lawn beneath the Theme Tower - one flag for each of the nearly 3,000 lives lost on that tragic day.
The Ride to the Flags is a White Heart Foundation event that started back in 2008, when Wave of Flags was first erected. The purpose of the event is to raise money for the heroes of Ventura, Los Angeles and Orange Counties.
The Ride to the Flags is a celebration of freedom, and first and foremost is established to honor our heroes in the US Armed Forces, Fire Fighters and Law Enforcement Officers.
The Ride to the Flags begins with a Celebration of Freedom at Naval Base Ventura County at Pt. Mugu. After the celebration, motorcycles from all over the country will leave the base in formation for a 42 mile memorial ride through the Santa Monica Mountains to the Wave of Flags at Pepperdine University in Malibu, California.
When: Sunday, September, 16th, 2012
Where: Pepperdine University, Malibu Campus (Great Lawn)
Who: Boy Scouts and Adult Leaders
What: The Boy Scouts have been invited to stand up a Flag Line for the Riders as they ride in to the Wave of Flags and to assist with the parking of over 1200 motorcycles.
Why: To provide an awesome level of community service.
Cost: Nothing. But you must provide your own transportation.
All Scouts and adult leaders must be in full BSA Field Uniform.
