The Annual Run For the Wall event returns to the Tuscaloosa VA Medical Center.
On Tuesday, May 20th, approximately 350 motorcycle riders will roll through our campus on their way to Washington D.C.
Riders will stop and eat while meeting and greeting Veteran patients.
Everyone is invited to show your support for the riders by joining us on the sidewalks along the main drive to greet them as they arrive. Approximate arrival will be between 9:45 am- 10:15 am so get here early to secure parking

Mission of RFTW:
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.
Philosophy:
We strive to maintain a safe, supportive, and private atmosphere in which all participants can reflect and heal on
their journey to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington D.C. and the Middle East Conflicts Wall Memorial in
Marseilles, IL in the hope they can return home to a new beginning.
Goals:
1. To guide the participants across America.
2. To educate future generations as to the importance of accountability in wartime actions, emphasizing that no
one should be left behind.
