The 9th annual Jennings American Legion Dice Run was held last Saturday with around 30 total bikers in attendance. Our event was a big success, with all proceeds going to pay for the fuel on the Run For The Wall stop at Oakley.
Our first stop of the day was in Morland, KS where we had our first dice roll, ate lunch and enjoyed the beautiful new Ray Toll Memorial Veterans Park. The next stop in Stockton was a fuel fill-up and dice roll, followed by a dice roll and a visit to the excellent interactive Dane Hanson Memorial Museum in Logan.
As always, we dedicated the final few miles of our journey to the brothers we've lost in the past year. Our Missing Man formation from Dresden to Jennings was ridden in honor of Dave Haury, our former Legion Commander and Army veteran, Dean Vacura, Army veteran, George Mulligan, Army veteran, and Jerry Rhodes, Army veteran. The Missing Man formation is a 2-1-2 stack, with an open position representative of our missing men. Our condolences to their families as well as our thanks for allowing us to honor these heroes.
We are grateful to all of our Run For The Wall riders who were in attendance, as well as the Run For The Wall photographer Kelly Shehan, who joined us on the ride and got some great photographs. Tom Vacura once again presented homemade wooden flags, this time in honor of Dave Haury and Jeremy Davidson. Tom presented Dave's flag to his wife, Shirley, and Max Mizer and Kathy Tacha delivered Jeremy's flag to his mother Deb. Cash prizes were awarded for highest and lowest dice roll, with much of the money being donated back to the event. Thank you to all of our Legion family members and volunteers who helped arrange our fundraiser, our silent auction donors, and all other supporters. We were blessed with fantastic riding weather, good friends, and community support. We remain forever grateful for the veterans we are able to support with this event.
See everyone next year for our 10th annual Dice Run! 🎲 🏍
