Last night I had the honor of riding as part of a large group (approx. 160-175 bikes) as escort for The Wall That Heals, a scaled replica of the Vietnam Wall memorial. It is here in S.W. Pa, at a town called McKeesport, about 5 minutes from my house. The actual display starts Thursday evening. The tractor trailer that delivered it turns into a mobile classroom. Here are a couple pics. I will get more pictures when I go to see the exhibit.

 

Yeah,, been there done that when one of the many rolled through here last year.
Got all warm an fuzzy,,
Then I watch'm slam together the cheap dented tin display with greasy hands.
I came the day after that to see it,, the greasy paw prints where still on the dented tin.

 

Had the privilege of escorting and seeing it as well maybe 8 years ago. Very cool.

 

 

It will be in Huntsville, AL 31 Oct-5 Nov... John Hunt Park, 2151 Airport Rd SW, Huntsville, AL 35801

 

They had one of those mobile, mini walls at the Cripple Creek Vets ride a couple of years back.

 

I had the honor to escort it before I retired !

 

I have escorted that twice.
Once with the old, metal one. and this year, their brand new one that looks like actual granite. Was amazing both times.

 

Was in my town this past May. The big wall...I have a pic.....
I wanted to be part of the escort it in , but I had to work. When I saw the escort on the news that evening ...why didn't I call in?
damnit.....

 

Where is it at? Renzie park? I live a little up river in forward township. Hopefully the weather cooperates for the display.
