Legion Riders Celebrate 101 year old Chambersburg Legion Veteran

In mid-June, eleven different ALR Chapters came together to celebrate the 101st birthday of local Chambersburg Legion Member and WWII Veteran Mr. Sam Worley. Mr. Worley was a member of the Army Air Corps and served this country around the world until his honorable discharge from active service before becoming a member of the Air Force Reserve.

To honor Mr. Worley, 50 plus Riders gathered at the Chambersburg American Legion Post 46 and were led by a Chambersburg Police Motor Patrolman to his home where his family was having an outdoor celebration. As part of our celebration to Mr. Worley we asked the Blankets of Honor team to join us and they did a fantastic presentation led by their CEO Veteran Manny Acuna which included a rundown of Mr. Worley's military service.

At 101 years old Mr. Worley is still very active in the community as well as still being very active with the American Legion at the local and state levels. At the end of the presentation, as in the past few years, Mr. Worley hopped on the back of ALR Head Committee Person Jon Hosfeld's trike and went for his annual ride.

It was our honor to do this for Sam and we look forward to doing it again for 102nd birthday. God Bless this WWII Veteran for his service to our country and our community.
