Sometimes even outlaws prefer peace and quiet.
Among the groups of people who stood guard over the Illinois Vietnam Veterans Memorial at Springfield’s Oak Ridge Cemetery on May 5-6 was the Springfield chapter of the Outlaws Motorcycle Club, part of an international group.
The Outlaws were among members of different organizations participating in the 24-hour vigil who say they prefer to walk the memorial when, typically, nobody is looking.
Between 10 p.m. and 11 p.m. on May 5, the Outlaws patrolled the 24th annual vigil to honor the 2,938 Illinois servicemen who died in the Vietnam War. Members also patrolled the World War II and Korean War memorials.
Mike O’Neal, one of about a dozen Outlaws at the Memorial, said the late-night shift is the perfect time to reflect. It’s quiet, peaceful and there are not a lot of distractions, he said.
“We prefer this shift over the daytime because you can concentrate on what you’re doing and why,” O’Neal said. “We will continue to do it because it’s our pleasure and honor.”
