Flying Thunder Flight to the
Wall - an epic and historic national event!
For
the Americans who have served our country in war, coming home can be
the toughest challenge. It brings no medals and earns few
accolades. Most of the difficulties are hidden - like the
memories that boil beneath the surface. The pain is unique and
personal. Veterans from WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and
Afghanistan who supported each other in war are better
positioned to understand, but healing requires a broader effort.
It needs the compassion of individuals and the commitment of a nation.
This
year, a unique event will shed a clear and powerful light on just what
it means for veterans to come home. In the roar of
motorcycle engines and the throb of helicopters; veterans and
volunteers will undertake a journey that spans America to the Vietnam
Veterans Memorial Wall. They are
giving up their time and in some cases, risking their lives to honor
comrades, exorcise demons and awaken America to a commitment that they
feel must be met.
Their
plea is not made in speeches, complaints, or demands. It is made
through difficulties faced, dangers overcome and the powerful stories
of veterans, families and communities across our entire nation.
Through small town celebrations and big city indifference; through
moments of beauty and devastation; we will ride into Washington D.C. on
an emotional wave of chrome, steel and camouflage paint.
Then,
the motorcycles will stop. The helicopters will land. And
there will be a homecoming for those who returned and those who did
not.
The journey may not be everything that those who undertake it
expect.
It could be everything they need.
