Prelude
2023 National Veterans Awareness Ride (NVAR)
The Times They Are A-Changin’: a ballad by Nobel laureate, Bob Dylan, who has chronicled changes thru evolutions of recent generations.
Change is more abrupt than evolution, which is a process of gradual development. To speak of each; since A.D. 25, a white flag has been the accepted method of surrender. All of a sudden, Russian soldiers can call the Ukrainian hot line, “I want to live”, for instructions on how and where to surrender! Since 2005, the National Veterans Awareness Organization (NVAO) has patiently matured. Technology will never change the mission of the NVAR.
America’s history plays out across Ukraine in living color, and the darkness of death. Like our colonial patriots, Ukrainians will accept only one outcome; independence, sovereignty, and freedom. (A busy hotline favors a will to live with a victory for freedom.) From the will of our early patriots evolved the essence of our nature—morals, virtues, and principles, with faith, family, and flag centered among them—unique attributes in the world order!
Along with a healthy appetite for freedom, Americans have an inherent sense of gratitude for all who served and sacrificed for it. We are beholden to them. Those attributes, appetites, and sense guide the NAVR on its mission to give thanks to our veterans, pay respect at memorials, and share our mission with America’s youth.

God Bless America
Thank You & Never Forget

Dear Veterans and supporters, I am looking so forward to participating in the ride this year. I am an Honorably discharged US marine. I have a lifetime of respect and admiration for all veterans. I didn’t think I was going to be able to participate in the ride because of health issues I am currently dealing with but God really looks out for me and has told me this is your opportunity to help support your fellow vets and to promote My will. So with all glory given to our Lord and savior I’m going for it, and will complete my mission to the very best of my agility. Anyway God bless you all and Thank you for your service and all that you do and i will see you on the 16th in Auburn.
Randy,
I’m pleased to hear from you and look forward to meeting you in Auburn. You may want to clear your calendar for the same time next year. After many before you made their first ride, ALL THE WAY, they are now on their 7th, 8th, or 9th rides, and more.
I wish you a safe ride to Auburn.
