Default I did it all the way this time.

I did the complete ride to the WALL this year. It's a an Honor and great fun to participate in the Rolling Thunder Parade. It's truly heart warming to see how much Americans love and appreciate the veterans. I was very much humbled to be in the company of so many of my brothers in arms.
The past three years our group rode into DC then peeled off before we got to the Pentagon parking lot because of all the horror stories that we heard about the lack of facilities and such. My son and I are the only ones from Hagerstown that went all the way, everything was very well organized, no complaints from me. I had a great ride and a great day. We'll be there again next year.

Happy Memorial day my friends.

Sounds like a great and humbleing ride.

May the Almighty grant our fallen brothers and sisters eternal peace, and destow on them great rewards for their sacrifices. May we never forget them.

So, you did it from Hagerstown, MD to the Wall.

I thought you were talking about "All The Way" from Ontario, California to the Wall, in Washington, D.C. as done by the Run For The Wall folks.

I participated in a partial trip of RFTW, from Chattanooga, TN to D.C. in 2006. That is a very humbling experience and one I recommend for all riders, veterans or not.

I agree, if one has the opportunity they should do it.
