As many as 2,000 motorcyclists rode through downtown Leesburg for the 9/11 Ride Aug. 19. Hundreds of supporters lined the streets waving American flags and cheering them on in their mission to honor the victims of the 2001 terrorist attacks and raise funds for first responders and their children.
America’s 911 Foundation has organized the commemorative event every year since the terrorist attacks of 2001. The 10th anniversary ride from Shanksville, Pa., through Leesburg, to the Pentagon and the World Trade Center site attracted more participants than previous years.
