Biking for Navy SEALs

POPLARVILLE, Miss. - Four retired and one active duty servicemen are riding across the country to raise money and awareness of Navy SEALs who died in the line of duty. Several members of the Navy Special Boat Team 22, based at John C. Stennis Space Center, greeting the bikers with a boat-mounted mini-gun salute – firing blanks – as they rode into Poplarville. The bikers are riding 3,300 miles across the country from Coronado, Calif., to Fort Pierce, Fla., in 42 days. They plan to reach Fort Pierce by Nov. 6. (Source: Picayune Item, 10/27/10)
