This year, Cletus (Right)and two friends participated in the Run for the Wall. It is a motorcycle ride from California to Washington D.C.. Cletus, Bubba and Bubba's father-in-law met up with the ride in Indiana and rode with them to D.C. They had a great trip!
Run For The Wall recognizes the sacrifices and contributions made by all veterans who have served our nation. Veterans of recent conflicts and those currently on active duty are especially welcome to join us as we ride for those who cannot.
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.
Goals: To guide the participants across America. To educate future generations as to the importance of accountability in wartime actions emphasizing that no one should be left behind. To participate in Rolling Thunder in support of their demand for government accountability for POW/MIA's.
