Riding as One: The Heartbeat of Run for the Wall with Ed Wehner

from Welcome Home - A Podcast for Veterans, About Veterans, By Veterans · host Larry Zilliox

Feel the thunderous heartbeat of America as we're joined by the awe-inspiring Ed Wehner from Run for the Wall. This organization sees veterans and supporters thunder across the nation on an awesome motorcycle ride. They start in California and ride all the way to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in D.C. in a moving tribute that extends beyond the asphalt. We're not just talking about a ride; it's a full-blown mission to heal, remember, and unite. This episode takes you behind the scenes of a 34-year tradition, where every rev and every mile stands for a story, a memory, and a promise kept to those who served.Ed Wehner pulls back the curtain on the camaraderie and patriotism fueling this epic journey, providing a glimpse into the hearts of riders from all corners, including California, Colorado, and Texas. We explore the meticulous planning that goes into the ride, from the overnight stops in towns like Lewisburg, West Virginia, to the police-escorted finale into the nation's capital. The sense of community is palpable, with local towns like Marshall, Virginia, playing host to these heroes on wheels. As we chat about the collective excitement for the ride, it's clear that this is more than an event—it's a rolling testament to the bonds that form when the rubber meets the road in honor of those who’ve served.
