ABOUT OUR HERO...

THIS YEAR WE RIDE IN HONOR OF Frederick "Pat" Walor,

8th Annual We Ride So They Fly is on SATURDAY, JUNE 27TH, 2026!

We are thankful to have received the blessing of this wonderful family in honoring and remembering their loved one, Frederick "Pat" Walor, from Dracut, MA.

Frederick “Pat” Walor proudly joined the U.S. Army at 19, serving with the 9th Infantry Division during World War II. He landed on Utah Beach in Normandy just days after D-Day and later received the Purple Heart for injuries sustained from German artillery in Belgium—on his 21st birthday.

His honors include the European and American Campaign Medals, Combat Infantry Badge, Bronze Star, World War II Victory Medal, and a Distinguished Unit Ribbon. He also wore the Infantryman Badge, Sharpshooter Rifle Badge, and Marksman Pistol Badge. Pat was a true and humble representative of The Greatest Generation.

On June 24, 2024, at age 100, Pat flew on Honor Flight New England with his daughter. Sadly, he passed away at 101 years old on June 27, 2025.

One year later, on June 27, 2026, we ride in his honor and memory. Let's make this one big! He did not just serve his country; he continued to do so much for his community.

We will never forget you, Pat. Thank you for your service.

This year, we ride for you, Frederick "Pat" Walor
