The Run For the Wall, first started in 1989, brings veterans of all ages and from all conflicts involving US Armed Forces together on their journey across the country toward the nation’s Capital. Friends, family and fellow riders work together on their stated mission 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.
