                ``RIDE FOR FREEDOM'' IN BERKS COUNTY, PA

                                 ______


                            HON. TIM HOLDEN

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, August 19, 1994

  Mr. HOLDEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to inform my colleagues of the 
``Ride for Freedom,'' a very important event which will be taking place 
in Berks County, PA, on August 28, 1994.
  This event, which is organized and sponsored by POW/MIA Forget-Me-
Nots along with Rolling Thunder, PA, the Blue Knights IV, Reading, MC, 
and Vietnam Vets MC, is the local POW/MIA recognition day and ceremony 
for Berks County. The ceremony will feature a number of distinguished 
guests, and will include a roll call of MIA's from Pennsylvania which 
is intended to symbolize the missing from all of our Nation's wars.
  Mr. Speaker, this ceremony serves as an important reminder to our 
Nation of those missing in action who served in our Armed Forces. Many 
fine Americans have given their lives and their freedom to make the 
United States the greatest Nation on Earth. Their sacrifices for our 
country should not and cannot be forgotten. It is with great pride that 
I commemorate this occasion and ask my colleagues to join me in paying 
tribute to the patriotic Americans who will be riding into Reading, PA 
on Sunday, August 28 to honor our POW/MIA's.

                          ____________________
