Yesterday, when I went to the Flying J to get my mail, I saw bikers of the Run For the Wall motorcycle ride.
This is an annual event supporting veterans and their families.
Unfortunately, the ride had a tragic incident near Lupton, Arizona yesterday. Lupton is at the Arizona-New Mexico border and the location of Tee Pee Trading Post.
The Navajo Times reported:
A participant in the 2025 Run For The Wall motorcycle ride was involved in a fatal accident Thursday as the group made its way toward Gallup, according to a police source.
Run For The Wall, or RFTW, is a cross-country motorcycle ride held annually to honor veterans, their families, and to raise awareness of service members who are still Prisoners of War or Missing in Action. The ride begins in Ontario, California, and concludes 10 days later at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall in Washington, D.C.
The accident occurred along Interstate 40, and a large portion of the RFTW riders were seen about a mile from the scene.
