A rumble of motorcycles could be heard throughout the city Sept. 17 as dozens of people from across East Texas participated in the 13th annual Allied Memorial Remembrance Ride from Fort Worth to Terrell. The ride has become a staple event, honoring those who paid the ultimate price for democracy. Ride participants traveled through downtown Terrell to Oakland Memorial Cemetery for a brief ceremony recognizing the 20 British Royal Air Force cadets who were killed during training accidents at the Terrell flight school during World War II. The bikers then returned to the No. 1 British Flying Training School Museum for refreshments after the ceremony. “One ride, worldwide: united in remembrance of our fallen heroes” is the mission of the riders. Held at different times in each country, often in connection with special days honoring veterans, motorcycle riders visit a local cemetery where members of the military are buried. “It is an honor for us to host the Allied Riders who come to the No. 1 British Flying Training School Museum,” explained Patrick Hotard, executive director of the museum in Terrell. “Many of the riders, like their organizer George ‘Tank’ Sherman, are veterans themselves or members of law enforcement agencies. We are always honored to have veterans visit the museum.”

Younger animals obviously are tenderer and require less time to prepare. I’m often quizzed about cooking wild pork.
