OFFICER PAT MCDONALD - "1000 bikes for Pat"

[george_park]

I worked at the "roundhouse" in Philly as an undergrad, live outside of the city now.

 

Officer McDonald, 30 years old, was serving the 25th district as a motorcycle-based Highway Patrol officer when he was shot and killed in the line of duty on the 23rd of September, ending his 8 year tour.

To honor Officer McDonald's duty and sacrifice the City of Philadelphia has contacted many groups to gather 1,000 motorcycles with American flags along Hulmeville Road in Bensalem, Pa and at the entrance of the cemetery. The effort has been endorsed by Bensalem and Philadelphia police departments.

Please try and attend if possible, if you are in the PA/NJ area.

 

Best wishes to the McDonald family, Officer Richard Bowes wounded when responding to the backup call, the Philadelphia Police Department and the men and women in blue everywhere.
