OSCEOLA COUNTY - Like riding a motorcycle? The fourth annual USO Operation Care Package benefit ride is Sunday. Bikers will meet at 10:30 a.m. at Osceola Heritage Park near Kissimmee and ride 80 miles through Osceola County. The ride ends at noon with lunch, a silent auction and a custom-and-classic motorbike show. This year's ride is dedicated to Jason Burnett, a 20-year-old lance corporal and St. Cloud resident who was killed with three other Marines in May 2006 when their tank plunged off a bridge during a combat patrol in Iraq. The $25 entry fee, plus proceeds from the silent auction, will buy care packages for troops that may include prepaid phone cards, snacks, sunscreen, disposable cameras, toiletries and compact discs.
