The Ride Home on National POW/MIA Recognition Weekend pays tribute to American POWs who have returned, and reaffirms our commitment to those still waiting to come home.

We are offering you an opportunity to be an important part of this weekend - to sponsor a former
POW. Invited honorees include Prisoners of War from World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and Desert
Storm. Any amount would be welcomed; a sponsorship of $350 helps us pay for one POWís lodging,
meals and on-location transportation. If you choose to help, we especially urge you to attend so that
you can meet and spend time with the POW you sponsored.

We are now accepting sponsors for The Ride Home 2010. If you would like to be a sponsor and/or make a donation, please click here for information and instructions on sponsoring/donating by either USMail or Credit/Debit card using PayPal.

The Ride Home operates entirely as a volunteer event. All donations are used for lodging, meals, on-site transportation and other associated expenses to bring former POWs and current POW/MIA families to the event.
