| On October 15, 2011 four members and guest traveled to Emmitsburg Maryland for the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial.
Our first stop was the Battlefield Harley Davidson in Gettysburg Pa. for lunch and to watch the gathering of the Knights Tournament. The gathering of the Knights tournament is put on by the Red Knights, Blue Knights and Green Knights International, it is a friend competition between the three clubs for a year of bragging rights (for more info go to www.redknightsmc.com and click on gathering of the knights tournament). While at the tournament we meet our International President Dave Emery you can see him in the pictures below in a yellow vest and his bike is the one with the 3 horses and steamer.
After the tournament 32 motorcycles left for the Walkersville Volunteer Fire Department in Maryland for the 13th Annual Red Helmet Ride back to Emmitsburg Maryland. There were between 250 and 300 motorcyclist that took part in this years ride. While in Walkersville we got to check out their 1940 Ford Engine see pictures below.
After taking part in ceremonies at Emmitsburg that included the lying of the wreath, visiting the chapel and monument our group left for O'Rorke's Family Eatery in Gettysburg for a wonderful supper before heading home for the day.
