The Minnesota VFW State Commander has created this event. Starting from St. Paul May 27th, 2013 riders (and drivers) will set out for the four corners of the State. They will then all return to Brainerd May 31st. This event is to recognize our Vietnam Veterans (many who are still forgotten according to the Commander) and raise money for the Education Center at the Vietnam Wall in Washington DC. The Center will also include Iraq and Afghanistan veterans. There will be numerous stops along the routes to gather with veterans and families. The Travelling Vietnam Wall will be at Brainerd and on June 1st a tribute to our military including flyovers, Vietnam era living museum and more. That night there will be a banquet and candlelit vigil at Cragun’s Resort in Brainerd. All are welcome.

Many Vietnam veterans could not
understand how the country they
fought for, saw friends die for
turned it’s back on them. No one
thanked them for their sacrifice.
A sacrifice that many had no
choice in.
