OCONOMOWOC, Wis. - Bikers met at the Harley Davidson in Oconomowoc Saturday morning, on the first leg of a nationwide tour to honor men and women in the military. 

It's the third annual Nation of Patriots Tour, which will pass an American flag to 48 states in 100 days. 

It's also a fundraiser, aiming to raise 50-thousand dollars for struggling families of wounded veterans.

More than 90-thousand riders are said to be taking part across the country.

The Patriot Tour is the brainchild of Milwaukeean Bill Sherer, founder and executive director of The Nation of Patriots.
