Take a listen as I have a conversation with Anthony Price, executive director, of the Gold Star Ride Foundation. In 2018, Anthony did a single motorcycle ride spanning 18,000 miles, 44 states, 56 days of solid riding, and made contact with more than 60 Gold Star families. Anthony wrote a book after this ride named, Yours, Very Sincerely And Respectfully.
The Gold Star Ride Foundation honors our nation's fallen heroes by taking care of their families. And we deliver the goods in person. And we go on bikes.
In 2019, Anthony did 4 Rides, thus far, spanning 16 states, more than 20 days, nearly 10,000 miles, and has made contact with more than 30 families.
Gold Star Families are defined as those who have lost a loved one who is serving or who has served in our armed forces. The loss of life does not have to be in combat or while deployed.

Anthony says they help Gold Star Families in many different ways and it's tailored to their personal situation and needs. This is why Anthony meets in person with the families, to get a real feel of the history and situation. It can be helping a child with college fees or stocking cabinets with groceries. The foundation is just there to help any way they can.
Anthony says privacy of the families is of the utmost importance and the foundation does not reach out to them. The families must contact the foundation to get things started.

The Gold Star Ride Foundation will actively support, comfort, and provide education benefits to Gold Star Families throughout the United States and will provide these things directly with personal visits via motorcycle; and we will support those other organizations that work to assist in these same activities. We do the work that our fallen heroes would do if they hadn't fallen for all our freedom.

Do you have a video showing power commander 5 install on a 2016 Victory Highball??
Or will the power commander 5 install on Harley Davidson be the same?

I just finished LAB 217 and found it to be the only time Ryan didn’t have to say much. Lol, just kidding. I enjoyed listening to Anthony and I also feel that the mission he is on is a worthy cause. During the podcast he mentioned on several occasions that info could be found on the website goldstarride.org. I am looking at the website and find it less than up-to-date. Anthony also spoke of an upcoming ride to Houston but the schedule stops at August 16th. I guess my hope is that they update the website soon so I can see where in TX I can maybe meet up with them.

As a side note to my comment, I did send an email to Gold Star Ride for more information.
Anthony Price says
Sorry. We’re a small all volunteer organization. The website is updated as often as we have time to do it. You’re always welcome to send us an email for a more in depth answer.
We’ve made it to Texas at least three times and can’t wait to go back.
