Ride to "The Wall That Heals" 

We are visiting the touring wall replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. during its 4-day stop in Bridgeport, CT.

Here's an excerpt from their website:

"On Veterans Day 1996, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund (VVMF) unveiled a replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., designed to travel to communities throughout the United States. Since its dedication, The Wall That Heals has been displayed at nearly 700 communities throughout the nation, spreading the Memorial’s healing legacy to millions.

Bringing The Wall home to communities throughout our country allows the souls enshrined on the Memorial to exist once more among family and friends in the peace and comfort of familiar surroundings. The traveling exhibit provides thousands of veterans who have been unable to cope with the prospect of facing The Wall to find the strength and courage to do so within their own communities, thus allowing the healing process to begin..."

It'll be a fun twisty ride to Seaside Park in Bridgeport. After the visit to The Wall, plan for another 1 hr or so of riding to a lunch stop (tbd), followed by more riding after lunch if you'd like.
