American Legion Riders will escort U.S. flag from Pittsburgh to nation’s capital in celebration of America’s 250th birthday.
Registration now is open to American Legion Riders for Sojourn 250, a one-day ride from Pittsburgh to Washington, D.C., that will cap a 26-country journey for the U.S. flag to celebrate the nation’s 250th birthday. Register here.
On July 4, American Legion Riders will provide an escort to an American flag that will have traveled 26 countries, flying over the graves and memorials of U.S. heroes buried in cemeteries under the American Battle Monuments Commission’s care. The final leg of that international tour begins at the national headquarters of the National Flag Foundation in Pittsburgh and will end in the nation’s capital. The route still is being determined.
Once the route is made available, American Legion Family members are encouraged to line it and cheer from overpasses or other vantage points.
The registration fee is $250 per rider and $50 for passengers. Registration is only online.
Registration closes when 275 riders have registered online. If you have questions, please email legionriders@legion.org and use the subject line Sojourn 250.
