PPOA’s Star & Shield Foundation proudly welcomed more than 300 motorcycle riders for the largest Heroes Ride in the event’s six-year history. The event began with an escorted ride from the Hollywood Bowl through the Sunset Strip, en route to a very moving veterans tribute at L.A. National Cemetery. Riders then proceeded to Biscailuz Training Center for a finish-line party, including a car show, live music, barbecue lunch and vendors. The overwhelming turnout and support from riders, friends, volunteers and sponsors all contributed to a memorable ride while we paid tribute to fallen officers and military veterans.
