CLINTON, Ohio - It’s truly a unique way to honor those who died during the Vietnam War. On Saturday, Nov. 12, the day after Veterans Day, 3,095 motorcycles will thunder through Summit County to honor those killed during the Vietnam War.

The Ride for 3,095 is being organized by those who volunteer and operate the Ohio Memorial Veterans Park in the small town of Clinton, south of Akron in Summit County.

There were 3,095 Ohioans killed during the Vietnam War and each name is displayed on the Wall in Clinton. Organizers are making flags for each of the 3,095 Ohio armed service members that were killed during the war to be displayed on motorcycles.

Each flag will have the fallen service member's name, rank and branch of military, along with a large image of the Purple Heart.
