Run for the Wall - May Date TBD

The Choudrant Mayor, Town Clerk, Firemen, CRABS, and other citizens in the community have held flags on the overpass of I-20 to welcome and celebrate the riders who are making the "Run for the Wall" (www.rftw.org). This year it is planned for them to be through Choudrant between 5:00P.M. and 6:00P.M.  Run For The Wall (RFTW) was started in 1989 as an effort by James Gregory and Bill Evans. They were 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 had thousands of men and women still unaccounted for from all of our wars. The need for this awareness continues today and we continue this tradition every May. The Southern Route website is http://www.rftwsr-2009.us:80/five-17.html
