SEPA 5/30 W/H Escort for WWII Vet to Normandy France
Warriors' Watch has been honored to meet a 99 year old WWII veteran who has been asked to go to Normandy to represent all Americans in the 80th Anniversary of the D-Day Invasion.
2nd Lt., Alan Shapiro, US ARMY Air Corp, will be escorted by local police and state police from his home in Blue Bell to PHL. We have been asked to be part of that escort (weather permitting). If the weather is not conducive for bikes, we can cage it and hold a flag line at his departure in Blue Bell.
For those of us who are camera hogs, there is a French TV crew following him from his home all the way to France.
