May 17 was Armed Forces Day. It was an appropriate day for the Donora Chapter of the American Legion Riders to conduct a "Ride for Wounded Warriors." The Legion Riders are veterans and American Legion members who support a number of veterans' causes.

This event supports Fisher House of Pittsburgh, which provides comfort and lodging to wounded veterans and their families during their treatment and recovery. The group of motorcycle enthusiasts, some 50 strong, made a day-long tour of a number of American Legion Posts in Washington and Allegheny Counties.
The ride was well-planned for safety and traffic control cooperating with local police for escort and clearance. Each American Legion Post along the way offered refreshments and a donation to Fisher House of Pittsburgh; Donora Legion Riders President Joe Seesok stated that 100% of the funds raised will go to help wounded warriors in our area.
