Veterans Of Now opens registration for Nov. 7 motorcade in Flint

Veterans Of Now is taking registrations for its 6th annual Pre-Veterans Day Motorcade on Nov. 7 in Flint, Michigan, with motorcycles, cars and commercial vehicles invited. The event is part of the group’s effort to honor veterans and military families during America’s 250th anniversary year.

Why it matters: - The Flint motorcade is built as a public tribute to veterans and military families. - Veterans Of Now is using the event to broaden participation beyond motorcycles and bring in clubs, community groups and commercial vehicles. - The organization’s 250-rider target ties the motorcade to America’s 250th anniversary year.
