The Dixie Thunder Run is a benefit ride to raise money for injured soldiers & the families of soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice during Operation Iraqi Freedom.The motto "SOLDIERS HELPING SOLDIERS" is testimony to the ride's beginnings when a few soldiers of the 155th BCT of Mississippi chose to get together to help out fellow unit members. As it spread by word of mouth, soldiers and citizens from numerous units and states wanted to show their support for America's Finest by participating in the Dixie Thunder Run.The inaugural ride (2006) traversed the state of Mississippi by starting in Tupelo, home of the 155th's Headquarters, with a stop in Meridian, and culminating in Hattiesburg, both home to units from the 155th BCT. This is to recognize all units who served in the Brigade during OIF III, as they come from all parts of Mississippi.This years rally (2007) will be a Tri-state event involving Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee. One organization from each will receive the proceeds. The route is planned for Tupelo, Ms to Tuscumbia, Al to Memphis, Tn. Updates will be posted. Dates are 19 & 20 May, 2007. cars layout @ HOT FreeLayouts.com MyHotComments
