The Black Hills Chapter of American Legion Post 164 in Spearfish, S.D., involved the community during the first 100 Miles for Hope in 2020. The highlight was a 100-mile American Legion Riders journey on Patriots Day from Spearfish to the Black Hills National Cemetery.
Along the way, Riders stopped at the VA Black Hills Health Care System in Fort Meade.
“We scheduled a visit to the Fort Meade VA so that we could honor the residents and medical teams,” said Micheline Nelson, a member of the post’s Riders chapter and the Auxiliary unit. “We were able to wave and say thank you to the nurses and doctors who came out.”
