The Honorable Few is the “motorized arm/riding platoon” of Marine Corps League Detachment 1302, based in Middleton, MA. We are a motorcycle riding group committed to the support of Veteran’s issues, POW/MIA awareness, Marine Corps events and functions, and other charitable organizations dedicated to the support of Veterans past, present and future.
We foster the camaraderie that was instilled in us while serving as members of the United States Armed Forces and we enjoy maintaining a high profile within the sport of motorcycle riding.

• August 2009 – In August members of the Honorable Few took on the solemn task of escorting the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial Moving Wall from
Sturbridge Mass to Lynn's Manning Bowl. Also accompanying the HF on this ride were members of the Enforcers LEMC and Rolling Thunder. The show of appreciation by the people of Lynn was absolutely outstanding and was very appreciated by all.
(see photos here). In addition on the last weekend of August our member and Detachment Chaplain Winger took a major role in the planning and administration of the Veterans Standdown in Boston.
This was attended by over 800 veterans and was from all accounts a tremendous success. Thank you Winger.
The Honorable Few also has pledged its support to the building of the Fisher House Boston on the grounds of the VA Medical facility with the purchase of a digital camera so that they can track the completion of the facility.

• July 2009 – Members again took an active role in the Wakefield 4th of July Parade. In addition we had our first Ice Cream Run up to Kimball Farms in Littleton. Not well attended
but there was a definite sense of competition in eating the Banana Splits. Who remembers Plop, Plop, Fizz, Fizz, nuff said. On July 26th 11 Members joined our own Idol who again put together a great ride in support of the Methuen VFW Ride in supprt of area Veteran charities. See pics here. The flyover by the B17 was a nice touch too. (See details here).

• June 27 2009 – On June 27th, Members and significant others rode Bikes and POV's to the Quonset Point Air National Guard Base in RI for the US Navy Blue Angels and Canadian
Air Force Snowbirds. Other than getting caught in a deluge of rain coming home, it was a great day. Check out the photos and especially those of the F-22 Raptor.
This plane is sick and I personally think a quick demonstration film should be sent to the sabre rattlers in Iran and North Korea.
