Run for the Wall members visit veterans at the VA
9:50 p.m. Monday, May 19, 2008
Veterans revved up for a big mission today.
These bikers are part of a group called "Run for the Wall."
They're riding their motorcycles across the country to honor Prisoners of War, those Missing in Action, and Killed in Action.
They stopped by the Colmery-O'Neil VA Medical Center Monday morning and visited with veterans there.
The group hopes to promote healing among veterans and their families.
"I spent two years in and out of a VA hospital and I know it's a difficult road to follow," Joe Walton said. "And these guys are going through what they're going through today and I can understand and respect what they're doing, because we've all been there, we're all brothers."
The bikers are on their way to Washington, D.C.
