Illinois Air National Guard Senior Master Sgt. David Schreffler (center) poses with some of the Polish riders who participated in the Gold Star Mission’s Gold Star 500 bicycle ride last September in Illinois. Schreffler is participating in the Polish Veterans Bike Rally from Aug. 8-12 to honor both Polish and American fallen service members. The rally, sponsored by the Polish Association of Families of Fallen Soldiers, will travel 538 kilometers (almost 335 miles) throughout Poland from the city of Siedlce to Rzeszów, with stops in Terespol, Chełm, Zamość, and Stalowa Wola. It is expected to include about 60 cyclists and is modeled on Gold Star Mission’s annual Gold Star 500 in Illinois. Last year, the Polish had 16 participants in the Gold Star 500 including seven Polish Army Soldiers, six students and three Polish Gold Star Family members. (Courtesy photo.)
