Crowds of people will gather in the burial grounds, but not a peep will be heard as a moment of silence is held for the fallen.

Every May, the sound of motorcycles echoes across America—not for show, but for something much more meaningful. Run For The Wall is a cross-country ride that honors the fallen and brings healing to those still carrying the weight of war. It begins in California and ends in Washington, D.C. 

This year I had the privilege of joining the ride for part of its journey, riding the Central Route from Gallup, New Mexico, to Colorado.

We rolled out of Gallup with nearly 500 motorcycles, riding two-by-two in a tight, powerful formation. New Mexico State Police escorted us across the entire state, blocking every exit, every intersection.

Between the evidence that was collected by former employee Ralph Robb that fueled the investigation by the US Department of Veterans Affairs Office of the Inspector General (OIG) and the fact that someone was hospitalized with a food-borne illness in August 2024, it seems these concerns are warranted.
