Nation Of Patriots Halfway Through California Jaunt

(Santa Maria, California) The Patriot Tour is over halfway through the dozen stops planned in California. The non-profit Nation of Patriots coordinates the fundraising journey that sees a series of flag-bearers carry one American flag by motorcycle, city-to-city, through all 48 contiguous states. The ride is arriving at its seventh stop in Santa Maria Wednesday. A flag bearer who recently traveled from Redding to Chico, California says his passion for the organization is tied to its mission. Willie Parker, who has been involved with the Nation of Patriots since the beginning and has been a flag bearer for the past eight years, says he is passionate about being involved with an organization that is entirely operated by volunteers, making it possible to give 100-percent of donations to veterans in need. The flag departed downtown Beaver Dam last month and is due back for a ceremony at the city’s Swan Park the Saturday after Labor Day. The Patriot Tour is hoping to surpass the one-million-dollar mark in money raised for veterans over the past ten years. To learn more or donate visit www.nationofpatriots.org.
