Meet JD Walker near the statue of the Three Soldiers, he was telling us about the Gully Transportation custom painted trucks parked just a few blocks away on Constitution Avenue.
So a little while later took that walk and caught up with JD. Noticed his truck had a Gold Star and saw the name Jeffrey D. Walker, his only Son. We spoke about L/Cpl. Walker and how honored JD was to drive this vehicle.

Remembering Our Fallen is a photographic war memorial that honors our country’s military Fallen from The War on Terror (9/11/2001 - Present).
Unlike brick and mortar memorials, Remembering Our Fallen is designed to travel and includes both military and personal photos.
Its legacy will be that these men and women will be remembered and their names will be spoken, while helping to lessen the grief of their families.
A Gold Star family's greatest fear is that their Fallen will be forgotten...

Miss Sawyer Hendrickson reads her award winning essay. Her mission is very simple: Remember, Understand, and Never Forget that Our Freedom Isn't Free!
Sawyer's interest in supporting those who Serve Our Country started 3 years ago when she was just 7 years old and my brother joined The Marine Corps. As I started to learn about the Military, I started to realize that our Veterans and Active Military are probably the most forgotten people in this country. I became a child advocate with a deep passion to try and change that.
She is 11 years old, from Ludington, Michigan and the Founder of "Miss Sawyer's Kids With a Cause", a 501(c)3 Non-Profit Organization that is dedicated to Making A Difference In The Lives Of Our Veterans and Active Duty Military, "One Smile At A Time"

Joe Bean National President presents Artie and Elaine Muller with a plaque for all of their many years of service to Rolling Thunder.
Since the Vietnam War ended, thousands of Vietnam veterans have died each year due to Agent Orange exposure, PTSD/suicide, cancer and other causes related to their service. The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund’s (VVMF) In Memory program honors those who returned home from Vietnam and later died.
The plaque on the grounds of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial site in Washington, D.C. that honors these veterans was dedicated in 2004 and reads: In Memory of the men and women who served in the Vietnam War and later died as a result of their service. We honor and remember their sacrifice.
In Memory was created in 1993 by the group – Friends of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. VVMF began managing the program and hosting the ceremony in 1999. More than 4,100 veterans have been added to the In Memory Honor Roll since the program began.
