CHARLESTON, W.Va. – On Oct. 31, U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (I-WV) served as the Special Guest Road Captain for the 9th Annual Ride for Fallen Service Heroes. This year’s ride began at the Gold Star Monument at the West Virginia State Capitol and ended at the Veterans Memorial Arch in Huntington. The ride honored Fallen Service Heroes and showed support for Gold Star Families.

“Every year, I look forward to the Annual Ride for Fallen Service Heroes—a breathtaking tribute to our country’s heroes across the beautiful rolling hills of our great state,” said Senator Manchin. “Especially given West Virginia’s status as one of the states with the highest number of Veterans per capita, it was a true privilege to once again be a part of this year’s ride and honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our state and nation. This annual ride is a special way to pay homage to their extraordinary service and extend our unending gratitude to Gold Star families. I’m so grateful for everyone involved in making this event a reality.”
