My apologies for not pointing out the donation link. It is in the last
sentence, just before the photo of Ray Cratty speaking:
You can speed the Elder Eagles on their way by sponsoring their team

> Sebastapol riding in the Old Glory Relay, a 4,000-mile relay race. They’re
> doing the Mendocino and Sonoma Coast sections of the event. (Photos
> provided by Bill Sauber)
>
> The men have a lot in common: they're all veterans; they're all
> Rotarians; they’re experienced cyclists; and they're participating in the
> Old Glory Relay - a fundraising project of Team RWB (Red, White, and Blue),
> a national veterans organization that emphasizes physical activity, healthy
> diets, and social connections as a means to improving veterans’ physical
> and mental health.
>
> “ ‘Enriching veterans’ lives’ is the group’s tagline, and a big part of
> that is suicide prevention, helping avoid depression and symptoms of PTSD
> and all that,” said Sauber, an Air Force veteran who served during the
> Vietnam War. "The rate of suicide among veterans is much higher than the
> average population, because of the trauma they've gone through. The purpose
> and focus of this organization is getting veterans involved in the two
> things that all the research says will help: one is physical activity and
> the second is engaging with other people. So they have all kinds of
> different activities, and they vary month by month. The Old Glory Relay
> is one of these activities."
>
> As participants in the Old Glory Relay, Cottle, Sauber, Rogers and their
> teammates (along with 600 others nationwide) will help carry a single
> American Flag from Seattle, WA, to Atlanta, GA. The relay - in which people
> will bike, run, walk and roll, while carrying the flag – starts today,
> April 1; it will take 50 days and cover over 4,000 miles.
>
> Sauber and Rogers are part of a Northern California team that will carry
> the flag on their bikes from Westport, just north of Fort Bragg, to Bodega
> Bay down Highway 1, starting at 6 am on April 11.
>
> Their team calls itself "The Elder Eagles" because the average age of the
> teammates is 79. They're the oldest team nationwide participating in the
> event, Sauber said.
>
> John Cottle of Mendocino will ride from Westport to Mendocino; Sauber will
> ride from Mendocino to Bodega Bay; and Rogers will ride from Jenner to
> Bodega Bay.
>
> In Bodega Bay, he'll hand the flag to their teammate Ray Cratty, a
> 90-year-old Sebastopol resident and Korean War veteran who lost a leg in
> action. Cratty will walk it over and hand it off to the next team in the
> relay.
