Red, white, and blue greets “Some Gave All” bikers Marty van Duyne News Net News
King George — Kings Highway was decorated in red, white, and blue to honor bikers riding for Some Gave All on May 18. American flags, balloons, bunting, and other patriotic décor could be seen along the route of the eighth annual memorial ride. And area residents were on both sides of the road to wave to passing bikers as they crossed Muddy Creek into King George. David A. Brinklow and his wife Barbara have waved to participants from the end of their driveway every year since it began in 2007. The ride was established in memory of Army National Guard Sgt. Nicholas Conan Mason of King George and Marine Sgt. Joshua James Frazier of Spotsylvania who were killed in Iraq. A Light Armored Vehicle (LAV-25) led the procession of motorcycles that took nearly 20 minutes to cross the county line. Sheriffs from Spotsylvania, Stafford, and King George provided escort for the nearly 1,300 participants that rode from Spotsylvania to King George. Mounted patrols from those counties as well as Fairfax and Fort Belvoir participated in the ride. The rally at King George High School included Explosive Ordnance Disposal Swap out of your old vehicle and(EOD) into arobotic new units and demonstrations by the Fairfax Mounted Ford during our Summer Swap Out Sales Police and 540 Boyz Stunt Riding Team.

Ransone (R-99) addressed the crowd; both pledging continued support for the military and their families before reading the Roll Call of Honor. Christine Mason said, “Each year we have to update the list of the fallen.” She noted that several were lost this past year to injuries, both physical and unseen after they had returned to the States. The Memorial Ceremony was a bit more emotionally draining on both the Frazier and Mason families this year. Christine Mason’s father Ralph Vogel died April 29. Christine told the crowd that her dad “always saluted the statue of the soldier that stands at Nick’s grave.” Rick Frazier’s wife Jana lost her battle with cancer on May 9. Frazier thanked the crowd for their continued support of SGA and the many riders that wore pink ribbons throughout the day in Jana’s honor. Frazier joined Vic Mason to present an SGA Foundation check to Jimmy May, a member of Hunter Holmes McGuire (VA Medical Center in Richmond) Wheelchair Team to help defray travel costs to the National Veterans Wheelchair Games. The foundation has donated funds to help veterans with physical disabilities as well as Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Christine Mason said the SGA Foundation has provided grants totaling $180,000 and has

also helped returning veterans with PTSD find jobs. Gold Star Families in attendance included the Frazier’s, Mason’s, and Tanya Ruhran. Army Spec. David Ruhran of Stafford and Nick Mason were both killed in the suicide bombing of a mess tent in Mosul, Iraq. The SGA Foundation (www.SomeGaveAll.org) honors all military personnel and extends benefits to wounded military and their families.
