Run For The Wall
Run For The Wall (RFTW) was started in 1989 as an effort by James Gregory and Bill Evans. They were a couple of Vietnam Veterans who traveled across the heartland of America on motorcycles, talking to local radio, TV, and newspapers about the fact that we had thousands of men and women still unaccounted for from all of our wars. The need for this awareness continues today and the RFTW tradition continues every May.
The RFTW will be passing through Mt. Vernon on May 22. Those interested in riding together, meet at the dealership with wheels rolling at 11:15 a.m. The RFTW will arrive at 12:30 p.m. and leave Mt. Vernon at 1:45 p.m.
