A staff member of U.S. Rep. Giffords’ office will be among scores of motorcycle riders who will travel from Tucson to inter the remains of more than a dozen indigent and homeless veterans at the Southern Arizona Veterans Memorial Cemetery.
The AMA applauds the U.S. House of Representatives for passing House Resolution 269 today, which designates May as Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month.
In addition to the designation, H.R. 269 highlights several safety measures for motorcyclists, including the voluntary use of helmets and other protective gear, avoiding riding while under the influence of alcohol, and getting proper training and licensing before operating a motorcycle on public roads.
