Getting excited. Bikes are packed, we are ready to roll, going to be hard to sleep tonight. Two more days and we are in California, two days after that we roll east on one of the greatest missions ever. This is the 25th annual Run For the wall. It is my 7th run and will be my 5th all the way trip. I have many friends on this run, and am looking forward to talking to them in person again. Ten days isn't long enough to get all the emotion out, but it is all we have.
Looking forward to all the flags, signs, yells, and hugs. Looking forward to all those great overpasses. Looking forward to everything but the end of the trip. It is going to be a great trip, but it has every time I have done it. Even when I get tired, or someone angers me, I have the mission to fall back on, and it is that important.
There are too many folks that have not come home, and if we do not do this America and Americans will forget.
We cannot let that happen.
Met a guy today who is a Vietnam Era Vet, he did not go there, and he said he has always felt bad about that. Hopefully we cheered him up. Hopefully he will take a look at the rftw.org web page, and then all he has to do is decide, plan, and pack for next year.
