It's Memorial Day!

Remarks posted on website by Chairman Martin Boire for Memorial Day, 2007.

It's Memorial Day! A day where we focus on those who make it all possible of us. America was established and is defended with the blood of her troops, veterans, and war dead. Governments past have ordered them to battle to establish and defend the nation in which we thrive. The highest respect we can pay America's war dead and veterans is to improve what they were asked to create and protect, and the integrity of the American Family that lives here. Therefore, let's all take a pledge this Memorial Day to henceforth demonstrate to those who risk themselves to protect all us, that we are indeed worthy of their protection. {jgquote} The highest respect we can pay America's war dead and veterans is to improve what they were asked to create and protect, and the integrity of the American Family that lives within. {/jgquote} Let's get our American House in order. Let's protect it while they're gone. Let's stop acting like a bunch of ninnies and refocus on making America great. America is the bright spot of the world, a country based on principals and vision. Let's thwart those who diminish it, stand up to those who belittle it, stop the creeping erosion. It's common knowledge that we live in an imperfect corporeal world. It is in the nature of the world for things not to go perfectly. Heaven comes later. But while here, we must each answer the call of excellence and do the best we each can. And in this world, America is be best thing going. And as always, many forces would like to see America gone. Old competitors are regaining, and new competitors are rising fast. It's time to get serous at home about what we are doing. Now is our time.  Now.  Not tomorrow. Now. We civilians need to make ourselves more worthy of the price our neighbors paid and are paying to protect us us. Show them we are worth it.  That we will take the opportunity they give us and make something yet grander of it. They fight, suffer and give life and limb to build and protect this American Family. Let's show our worth by protecting this American Family and thinking less for ourselves, and thinking more for our Country. Join us and help us do so.

Let's Support Them!

Remarks by Martin Boire at Press Conference at Commencement of Bike Week Celebration at Destination Daytona, March 3, 2006.

Welcome

Brief summary of Support Our Troops.

About 93% of Americans are civilians, and created by civilians, Support Our Troops^® is a nationwide 501(c)3 public benefit charity focused on the troops and their families, who sacrifice to protect everyone watching this event today. The point is simple: they support us let's support them! To do this we do two things. First, help provide ways that people can show their support for their amazing troops. Second, raise money to really support the troops. One major way to accomplish this is by our putting official DMV-issued Support Our Troops motor vehicle license plates on the road across America.

Comments on the custom chopper.

Another major way is by the grace of Mr. Bruce Rossmeyer in producing the 2006 Support Our Troops Custom Harley Chopper to raffle across American for the benefit of America's troops and their families. Both of these activities enable people to show moral support. Both produce real financial support. The 2006 Support Our Troops Custom Harley Chopper will tour the top ten bike rallies across America during this year, with the drawing at the end of Biketoberfest^® in October. $10 Raffle tickets are available online at www.supportourtroops.org, and at all of the events where the Support Our Troops^® Chopper appears.

Comments on Mr. Rossmeyer's position with Support Our Troops.

But Mr. Rossmeyer did not stop there. In order to help plan even more things to benefit our troops and their families, he accepted our request to serve on the Advisory Board of Support Our Troops alongside such major American figures as the honorable and revered Sonny Montgomery, author of the most famous and appreciated Montgomery G.I. Bill. And if that were not enough Mr. Rossmeyer then agreed that the Official Gear Company, which is the official licensee of Support Our Troops biker line apparel at bike week events, could also stock the Support Our Troops product line in all of his main dealerships year round!

Introduction of Mr. Rossmeyer.

Therefore it is with the greatest appreciation and respect that I introduce the man who made this great Destination Daytona complex happen, and who, recognizing that such things are possible only because of the safe environment created by America's brave troops, has in turn made great things happen for the troops which otherwise would not have happened. I give you "Mr. Harley-Davidson" --- Bruce Rossmeyer.
