Patriot Tour 2018 visits Waukon ...

The Nation of Patriots, a volunteer organization with a mission to provide financial support to families of wounded military veterans who have made sacrifices in service to their country, brought its 2018 Patriot Tour through Waukon Sunday, May 20 as part of its annual three-month summer tour across the country. Tour participants display a United States flag which is transferred between riders at each designated stop along the tour that will travel the contiguous 48 United States before it will finally end up back at its original starting location in Beaver Dam, WI in early September.

Riders from Fennimore, WI brought the flag in to Waukon Sunday afternoon, May 20, traversing through downtown Waukon (pictured above) on the way to Waukon Harley-Davidson for a Tour stop, where they ceremoniously transferred the flag for its next leg of the Tour to Waterloo. Pictured at right, left to right, in the ceremony at Waukon Harley-Davidson, Daryl Hinton of Waukon Harley-Davidson accepts the flag transfer for the next Tour leg from Patriot Tour rider Dustin Roberts, a U.S. Army Reserve Unit 322 Veteran formerly stationed out of Decorah and current officer with the Fennimore, WI Police Department.
