    On July 30, the Sikorsky Military Completions Center and the United Auto Workers (UAW) Local 1752 in Horseheads, NY will host an approx. 160-mile motorcycle ride to benefit servicemen and women deployed overseas. All proceeds from the ride will go to the United Service Organizations (USO).  Visit the USO site here.

   
     The Troop Ride is in its fourth year, and in 2010 alone we raised over $16,000 to help our troops. Many of us have family members in the military overseas. and this is one way we can help make their lives just a little bit better. When talking with many soldiers, it is clear that the USO makes a positive impact on their quality of life and the lives of their family members still at home.
