Each year around Memorial Day in Washington, DC, there is a motorcycle event like no other. It only lasts a day, there aren't any vendors to speak of, and it is doubtful that you will see a single beer can.

The Run For The Wall started in 1989 as an effort by a couple of Vietnam Veterans who traveled across the heartland of America on motorcycles, talking to local Radio, TV, and Newspapers about the fact that we have thousands of men and women still unaccounted for from all of our wars.

Artie Muller, the organizer of Rolling Thunder, began his vigil to bring back missing POW/MIAs in 1987. The North Parking Lot of the Pentagon is his Super Bowl.

Sunrise Sunday morning the bikes begin to pull in. It's a veteran's event and it shows. With almost military precision, bikers are organized and lined up for the mid-afternoon parade. War veterans always lead the procession from the Pentagon through the streets of our nation's capital to the Vietnam Memorial.

The bikes are parked, people file past the memorial, old friends meet and remember those not present. People from all over the country have their own unique stories to tell.

Donna's brother, Jerry Elliot was a helicopter door gunner and was shot down December 1, 1968.

Jerry's crewmate, Mike Teutschman, survived and some thirty years later, went back to re-visit the crash site. While in Vietnam, Mike found a piece of his aircraft's main rotor blade being used as a fence post in a farmer's field. Upon his return he notified Donna of his discovery and they met in the Pentagon Parking Lot. Together, they placed the rotor under Jerry's name on the Vietnam Memorial.

When Donna, from Pleasant Grove, Arkansas, arrived at Rolling Thunder she was given the shirt she is wearing in this photograph. On the back are the names of missing soldiers from the Vietnam War. If you look closely, you can see her brother's name on the fifth row.
