Many of the Run for the Wall bikers are active, ex- or retired military personnel with a mission to promote healing among all veterans, their families and friends, to call for an accounting of all Prisoners of War and those Missing in Action (POW/MIA), and to honor the memory of those Killed in Action (KIA). Run for the Wall recognizes the sacrifices and contributions made by all veterans who have served our nation and is dedicated to Prisoners of War and MIAs. “We ride for those who can’t.” Website: rftw.org The Trail of Honor event concludes each year with the “Run for the Wall“. The riders are on their way to the Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington DC. Story on our website: theclintoncourier.net/82781/2155/2014-trail-of-honor-and-run-for-the-wall
