GO GRANDPA GO!!!!

Hi Everyone!!!
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!!!

RUN TO THE WALL

Mission Statement: To promote healing among ALL veterans and their families and friends, to call for an accounting of all Prisoners of War and those Missing in Action (POW/MIA), to honor the memory of those Killed in Action (KIA) from all wars, and to support our military personnel all over the world.

Philosophy: We strive to maintain a safe, supportive and private atmosphere in which all participants can reflect and heal on their journey to the Vietnam Memorial in Washington, D.C. in the hope that they can return home to a new beginning.

Check out their website for the travel route and awesome pictures of thousands of bike riders traveling to their destination! http://www.rftw.org/
