These are carried each year to the wall at the request of some of the families we took this pic after we found the name on the wall should the family contact us we will provide them with a copy of this pic.

The man that popped this popcorn was in a VA hospital his twin brother's name is on the wall they both loved popcorn as children he asks someone to take a bag to the wall and place it at the bottom of the panel where his brothers name is. There is an interesting mix of things left at the base of the wall the items are collected each day and stored away volunteeers come and clean the wall each morning.

I saw that Sarah Palin rode (BSR) with the group in DC on a black 2010.5 CVO Ultra.  Wonder if it was a members bike? 

They intervied some of the Vets and some thought Mrs Palin used the event to promote her political campaign.  I kind of thought that it was nice that she was there to support the Vets.  I doubt if the RFTW would have gotten Monday AM national news coverage if she hadn't been there.

Did the ride for the first time yesterday. It was a pretty humbling experience.

Although I did not serve in the military... it was an honor to ride with so many vets.  :)

Run For The Wall (RFTW) is a coast to coast ride from California to Washington DC prior to Rolling Thunder both are great events and the opportunity to do either is a good experience during the RFTW you see lots of patriots across the United States.

From a grassy knoll overlooking a Pentagon parking lot bikes parked very closely covering a 60 acre parking lot we arrived at 6:45 a.m. for a noon start and it was 25% full at that time.

Tim has been sick and in the hospital but he still made the trip and holds this postion throughout the parade start to finish. He takes leave time and pays his own expenses.
