He\u2019s determined that the New York police officers who gave their lives in the line of duty will\u00a0never be forgotten.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A veteran is a person who wrote a blank check to the United States that could be cashed up to and including the \u201cUltimate Sacrifice.\u201d But don\u2019t ever make the mistake of thinking that when\u00a0those uniforms are hung away in the \u201cPosterity Closet\u201d that these men and women\u00a0believe their\u00a0duty is over.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Couple that with the false perception of large numbers of motorcyclists making people nervous and thinking of Marlon Brando in \u201cThe Wild One.\u201d Nothing could be further from the truth. These are not the so-called One Percenters, the Hells Angels and others of their ilk. These are men and women who simply enjoy riding and\u00a0giving back to the community.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today that check is still being written on a regular basis, as exemplified by New York City\u2019s Tri-Boro Chapter of the Nam Knights Motorcycle Club.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On a recent chilly and windy Sunday morning, some 30 members of the Nam Knights, along with members of the American Legion\u2019s Legion Riders, Special Forces Motorcycle Club and representatives of law enforcement-oriented motorcycle clubs, gathered on a side road just off the Cross-Bronx Expressway.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The\u00a0convocation was there to honor fallen New York City police officers killed in the line of duty.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first meeting was held in 2006 to pay homage to two Bronx police officers, Det. Daniel Enchautegui and Eric Hernandez, who were murdered while on the job. Enchautegui was killed while trying to stop a burglary. Hernandez was\u00a0slain attempting to break up a fight at a fast-food restaurant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today the event has expanded to include the hundreds of fallen police officers from New York City.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_22063\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22063\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-22063\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/2.jpg\" alt=\"Riders cautiously pull out to start the event\" width=\"800\" height=\"530\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-22063\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Photo Credit: Bob &amp; Sandy Nesoff<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Combating the chilly weather, the riders and some passengers downed cups of coffee\u00a0and washed down sweets to fortify themselves for the ride.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">T-Love Efron, Tri-Boro Nam Knights Chapter president, made a point of welcoming each rider as the participants trickled in and prepared for the 11 a.m. KSU (rider jargon for &#8220;Kick Stands Up&#8221;).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each rider paid an entry fee of $20 and a couple of dollars extra if there was a passenger on the motorcycle. Opening ceremonies included the awarding of trophies for the riders who\u00a0had traveled the greatest distance (won for the second time by a New Jersey contingent), cleanest bike trophy taken home by a former police detective, oldest motorcycle participating (won for the second time by a Garden Stater) and several more for motorcycle-oriented accomplishments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Drivers in passing cars blew their horns and waved in support of the riders.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_22067\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22067\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-22067\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/3.jpg\" alt=\"The long line on the move\" width=\"800\" height=\"530\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-22067\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Photo Credit: Bob &amp; Sandy Nesoff<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the time for KSU approached, the riders mounted their motorcycles and revved them up. The roar of the combined engines drowned out the noise of passing traffic on the highway but, as someone mentioned,\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cNever fails to give me chills.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">T-Love walked up and down the line reminding the riders of the safety rules for the ride. \u201cKeep your distance, don\u2019t cut in, stay in line.\u201d His mantra was that of a perfect safety record since the first ride in 2006 should be kept intact.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most of the riders had layered their clothes worn under leather vests, each bearing the emblem of their various clubs. Some of those layers would later be peeled off as the temperature rose.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">T-Love took the lead position and pulled into a tight U-turn to head for the highway entrance. Flying high from the back of his motorcycle was a massive American flag. Most of the other bikes had smaller American and POW flags flying from the rear of their rides.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The colorful procession rolled out and onto the right-hand lane of the highway, carefully following the speed limit. Heading west, they drew smiles, applause,\u00a0and waves from scores of passing cars. Young children sat in the rear of cars with their noses pressed tightly to the window, watching in awe\u00a0as the bikers rolled on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Miles down the road, the procession wove its way down an exit ramp and onto the West Side Highway, running along the Hudson River. Near the Liberty Street exit across from the hallowed grounds of Ground Zero, T-Love pulled off and into the upscale high-rise development of Battery Park City. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The riders parked their motorcycles in a line with the rears touching the curb, dismounted, and headed for a black wall memorial. This solemn structure held the names of every police officer in New York who had died in the line of duty since 1908. At the lower right-hand corner was an ominously large blank space that no one hoped would ever be filled with additional names.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_22062\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22062\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-22062\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/5-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Many of the participants in the ride pose with the tribute in front of the wall with names of fallen police officers inscribed.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-22062\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Photo Credit: Bob &amp; Sandy Nesoff<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While one of the Nam Knights prospectives (a potential member) stood guard over the parked bikes, the remainder of the participants carried a floral offering in the shape of a flag and in the green and white colors of the NYPD.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">T-Love asked a member of the Legion Riders, a police motorcycle club, and two members of the Special Forces Motorcycle Club to do the honors and present the offering. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following a prayer for the fallen and hopes of safety for the living, many of the riders gathered around the floral piece for a photograph. Speeches were few and to the point.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the ceremony, the riders once again mounted up, heading north on the West Side Highway to 125<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Street and a repast at the iconic Dinosaur Bar-B-Que, the traditional stop following the event.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Nam Knights were first formed in 1989 by Jack Quigley, a New Jersey Undersheriff who served in Vietnam as a Marine.
