Reviews

Although we have chosen to write about the Run for the Wall from our porspoctives as social analysis, our interest in the Run is not merely intellectual.... Because our participation was so deep, and so personally meaningful, we hope to tell our story with a fundamental respect for all those who have ridden across the country in one another's company with the purpose of remembering - in many different ways - what the Vietnam War did to us and for us as people, and as a nation. - from Run for the Wall
