Meet Eddie and the Rampers.  This group of "Steel Lugging" workers set up ramps all around the Woodbridge Area.  These ramps help residents that need access to their homes via wheelchairs, etc.  THe ramps are installed for free.  The ramps are free too.  The labor is a labor of love and enables residents to live in their homes, due to either the weather and/or their health.  Ed McSherry is the leader of the band, and past President, VP and Parade Chair from the American Irish Association.

[BELOW] Another picture of the "Rampers" who will not let weather get in the way of a ramp installation.
