The Wall That Heals Covington Committee invites area motorcyclists and motorcycle groups to participate in a law enforcement led escort of “The Wall That Heals,” a traveling replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, from Lexington, VA to Covington, VA on Tuesday, October 1, 2024 (rain or shine).

A waiver is required for participation. If you are interested in participating, please contact ride captain David Gum at (540) 691-5241 or email thewallthathealscovington@gmail.com.

Members of the public are encouraged to stand safely along the sides of the road and wave American flags to greet the transport as it arrives on Tuesday, October 1, 2024.

Honoring the more than 3 million Americans who served in the U.S. Armed Forces during the Vietnam War, “The Wall That Heals”—which is 375 feet in length and bears the names of the 58,281 men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in Vietnam—is transported from community to community via a 53-foot trailer. When parked, the trailer opens up to showcase a variety of exhibits, allowing it to serve as a mobile education center that tells the story of the Vietnam War.

The free exhibit will be open to the public 24 hours a day from October 3, 2024 through October 6, 2024 at the Jackson River Sports Complex, which is located at 870 W Edgemont Dr, Covington, VA 24426.
