About 50 motorcyclists paid tribute Sunday to the late Army Sgt. David Fisher, a 21-year-old Watervliet man who suffered an accidental death in the Iraq war in 2004, with a stop at his mother’s home.
The band of motorcyclists honored Gold Star Mother Vickie DeAugustine with a ceremony at her home at 130 Route 9P, a stanza of the cross-country, 12th annual Tribute to Fallen Soldiers memorial torch motorcycle ride which began in Oregon.
Elsewhere in the Capital District, the cyclists stopped at the Rotterdam Elks lodge to commemorate fellow Gold Star Mother Jean Kirschenheiter, the mother of retired Army Sgt. Raymond W. Warlikowski Jr. of Melbourne, Fla, who has ties to Schenectady. The veteran of four tours in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars died after a battle with PTSD in 2016, after serving 20 years before his military retirement.
