Anyone else going ? If you have not had the Honor / Opportunity to view the one in DC. This is a must visit, if possible. A very humbling experience, to say the least.

my friends were part of the Escort yesterday. It was nice to see a good turn out and people lined up on some of the route to view it going by. I volunteered at the Wall when it was in Greeley.

Everyone should go see it, if they havent seen it before.


Don't forget to bring a monetary donation.

I'll be taking the wife and daughter to the ceremonies on Sunday and bring my wife back for taps in the evening, she has never heard it live, should be quite moving.

Was in the escort riders group. Definitely a must see. Should you ever have a chance to get to D.C. on Memorial Day, the wall is a must visit and will change you forever.

Bummer I missed it through Berthoud and Loveland.

Thanks for the info Sir! I'll make it up to see it.

Turn out about 60 bikes? Unless that crest in back hides more. Brings a tear to me eye just looking at those pics Thanks Chris.

Can't make it but rip to my great uncle who is still Mia and the 60000 others that gave the ultimate sacrifice.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll be taking my family. I visited the one in DC on my very first day of active duty back in 1986. It was moving then, and it will be moving now.
