A ride for support

Published 11:39 am Thursday, September 8, 2011

Maj. Gen. Alan B. Salisbury, center, the chief executive officer of the Code of Support Foundation, watches Wednesday as Louisiana Patriot Guard Rider Byron Hutchinson, right, passes the Code of Support scroll to Mississippi Patriot Guard Rider Dana Smith outside the Battlefield Inn in Vicksburg. The scroll, which is a pledge created in an attempt to bridge the gap between the civilian population and military personnel to enhance support for troops, will be delivered via relay by the Patriot Guard Riders to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in Washington, D.C., on Sunday, the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
