Bikers are headed to our nations capitol to remember those killed in the Vietnam war.

RAINELLE- -- The hills of Greenbrier County rumbled a little louder today as a caravan of motorcycles roared into town.

It was all a part of the annual Run To The Wall.

Each year, hundreds of bikers travel cross country in a movement to remember those killed in the Vietnam War.

And in the last leg of their journey to the Vietnam Memorial in D.C., bikers stopped off in the town of Rainelle.

The group has been staging the rally on Memorial Day weekend since 1988 to focus attention on POW and MIA issues.

The real story in Rainelle is the amount of money the RFTW veterans donate to Rainelle Elementary School each year. Last year, they raised and donated over $20,000. This year the donation was over $11,000.
