Have a good ride and that's a great reason for going. My grandma used to live in Ione. If you can, ride CA-88 over the Sierras either on the way there or the way back. CA-49 through Gold Rush country is also a great ride. Be safe and it's great you are supporting their families, they will really appreciate knowing you care and no one has forgotten their sacrifice.

Very light winter this year. 80/50/88 all clear but could be ice night & morning. 4/108/120 still closed but should have early opening, before May?

It'd be amazing to see 108 open before May. I don't doubt it with this past winter though. That is a helluva road!
