Run For The Wall (RFTW) was started in 1989 as an effort by a couple of Vietnam Veterans who traveled across the heartland of America on motorcycles, talking to local Radio, TV, and Newspapers about the fact that we have thousands of men and women still unaccounted for from all of our wars. We continue this tradition every May.

Next ride:

At 8:00 am on Wednesday May 19, 2004, veterans from all wars and their supporters will leave from the T&A Truck Stop at the junction of I-10 & I-15 in Ontario, CA, on their annual pilgrimage across the heartland of America. Most will be riding motorcycles. Our mission is to create a groundswell of support for American PRISONERS OF WAR and MISSING IN ACTION from all wars, and to help those injured by war to heal. This 10 day, cross-country journey will include ceremonies with veterans and civic organizations, visits to war memorials, visits with VA hospital patients, and other stops to make sure our POW-MIA's are remembered.

Do you have to be a Veteran or can anyone ride to show their support? If I can get my 650 by then, I'd be interested in joining in.

I believe anyone can ride. You may want to inquire at the site, just to be safe. There's a semi that does the ride as well as several chase cars and trucks. If my daughters weren't in school at the time, I'd toss my tools in my truck and go!
