More than 1,000 motorcycles and hundreds of cars escorted the Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall from the Eastern Florida State College campus in Cocoa to Wickham Park on Sunday morning.
The Wall honors the more than 58,000 service members of the U.S. armed forces who fought in the Vietnam War, service members who died in service in Vietnam/South East Asia, and those service members who were missing in action during the war.
The Florida Vietnam and All Veterans Annual Reunion, which is in its 32nd year and runs May 5 through May 12, is one of the largest and longest running veterans’ reunions in the country. The event expects to attract up to 100,000 people over the four-day run.
