RWB Coast To Coast Old Glory Rally For Veterans
Posted: Sun Sep 30, 2018 11:04 am
This morning while many people were still sleeping, the 5th Annual Old Glory Coast To Coast Rally came through Lakewood. The rally takes place each year with teams of veterans carrying an American flag between Boston, Massachusetts to San Diego, California. The rally starts on 9-11.
The leg of the rally that goes through Lakewood started 09.30.2018 at the crack of dawn at the Soldiers and Sailors Monument on Cleveland's Public Square. Winding its way through the west side, down onto Clifton then across the bridge onto Lake Road.
Taking on water at French Ave.
They head out of Lakewood...
Across Lake Road Bridge into Rocky River.
Arriving at Bay Presbyterian Church for a break with family and friends before heading on to Toledo!

Lifting up America's Veterans with 1 Flag passed through 10,000 sets of hands over 4,300 miles
A 4,300-mile journey across America to honor and connect veterans while celebrating all that unites us as a nation.
As the sun rises on September 11, 2018, Team RWB will gather in Boston, Massachusetts and unfurl Old Glory for the fifth consecutive year. An epic journey will take that same flag through 24 states and 10,000 pairs of hands over 62 days, as veterans and supporters work together to bring the American flag to San Diego, California on Veterans Day. The Old Glory Relay epitomizes what Team RWB is all about – helping America’s veterans find lasting fulfillment through the creation of deep bonds with other veterans and civilian supporters. The Relay is the perfect opportunity to elevate Team RWB’s profile nationally, through compelling stories tied to commemorations of the 17th anniversary of 9/11 and Veterans Day. In addition, the Relay will serve as an opportunity for the media to put a spotlight on an event that all Americans can support, which the public is hungry for in this time of political division.
