May
26,
2008
[GOWANDA,
NY]
-
Nearly
400
motorcyclists,
many
of
them
veterans,
from
across
Western
New
York
gathered
at
Gowanda
Harley-Davidson
on
Memorial
Day
to
participate
in
the
annual
“Ride
To
Remember”
Prior
to
embarking
on
the
rolling
remembrance,
John
Reid,
Gowanda
Harley-Davidson
President
and
himself
a
Vietnam
veteran,
dedicated
this
year’s
ride
to
Sgt.
James
T.
Hackemer
of
Collins,
NY.
“We
are
truly
amazed
by
our
men
and
women
in
Iraq
and
Afghanistan
who
risk
their
lives
to
go
out
on
patrol,”
spoke
Reid.
“We
truly
do
live
in
the
land
of
the
free,
because
of
the
brave.”
Sgt.
Hackemer
was
critically
injured
in
Iraq
on
March
14,
2008
while
on
patrol
when
the
vehicle
he
was
riding
in
hit
a
roadside
bomb.
As
a
result
he
has
lost
the
use
of
both
his
legs
and
has
suffered
a
traumatic
brain
injury.
He
is
currently
undergoing
treatment
at
Spaulding
Rehabilitation
Hospital
in
Boston,
MA. |

From
the
dealership,
located
at
2535
Gowanda
Zoar
Rd.,
the
riders
in
motorcycle
parade
honored
the
Hackemer
family,
including
his
wife
Alycia
and
two
young
daughters,
Kaelynn
and
Addison
by
raising
over
$1,300
in
monetary
donations.
The
parade
of
motorcycles
then
passed
by
their
home
with
a
salute
of
thundering
v-twin
engines
together
with
a
sea
of
American,
P.O.W.
and
military
flags
proudly
flying
from
the
backs
of
many
bikes.
In
addition,
the
members
of
the
Erie
County
Vietnam
Veterans
Memorial
Committee
also
donated
$500
to
the
Hackemer
family.
Receiving
cheers
from
local
residents
along
the
roadside,
the
motorcycles
stretched
out
for
well
over
a
mile
along
Route
39,
before
rolling
into
the
Erie
County
Vietnam
Veterans
Memorial
located
within
Sprague
Brook
Park
in
Glenwood,
New
York.
Joined
by
an
honor
guard
and
several
guest
speakers,
a
proper
Memorial
Day
service
was
lead
by
former
Erie
County
Veterans
Services
Director,
Lou
Palma
to
pay
respect
to
those
who
gave
their
lives
for
our
country. |

“On
Memorial
Day
we
honor
our
true
heroes.
We
honor
our
men
and
women
who
made
the
ultimate
sacrifice.
We
respect
them
and
they
will
forever
live
on
in
our
hearts,”
solemnly
spoke,
Palma.
A
benefit
party
is
planned
to
support
Sgt.
James
Hackemer
and
his
family
on
June
29,
2008,
from

to
8:00pm
at
the
Gowanda
Moose
Club,

Aldrich
St.,

York.
