Dear editor, This Wednesday, May 15th, between 3:00pm to 3:30pm, the annual 'Run for the Wall' Veterans will be riding their bikes through Grants on their way to the Washington D.C. Veterans Vietnam Memorial Wall. They will be led into Grants by the Cibola County Sheriff's Department.
Every year we get a different number of Veterans coming through. Eddy Ross, a veteran of the Korean War is always there with his group of dedicated veterans that present the colors and the 21-gun salute for the fallen. The talks are always inspirational, and it is fun to speak with the different veterans and hear part of their stories. Everyone is invited to share in this patriotic welcome to all veterans that have given their all to answer the call of our country. Please come and be a part of this warm gathering at Veterans/Friendship Park.
Robert S. Windhorst Code Enforcement Officer, City of Grants
