It's time again for the annual Run For The Wall.  For those of you who are unfamiliar with this event, motercycle riders from all over the country start a ride  and end up at the Viet Nam Memorial in Washington DC.  Here is the link to their site.  We are lucky enough that they will be coming through Monroe LA again.  A week from today, my daughter will join others to help feed the riders when they make their stopover here.  I will be there again to take pictures.  Hopefully, I will be able to photograph them as they come in on the interstate.  They are expecting over 600 riders this year!  I'm posting the link to their website.  If they come through a city near you, it is well worth it to turn out and support the riders.
