We are excited to share with you a special event that our dad is participating in. It's called Run for the Wall. It's an annual event that is dedicated to our Prisoners of War and our Missing in Action fellow Americans. Thousands of bike riders are in route together, side by side, to their destination, The Vietnam Memorial in Washington D.C. (The Wall) This ride has been long awaited and our family is so proud of Dad/Grandpa and his dedication to this cause. We hope that you know how much you are appreciated and how much your support through all of these years has meant to us!!! Knowing that you are experiencing this journey for the next 3 weeks puts our souls as ease. You deserve this! Can't wait to see you in a few weeks!!!
