For more than 15 years, our Run for The Wall friends have respectfully laid over 7,000 bricks along the Veterans Memorial Walkway. The bricks pay tribute to veterans and active military (living or deceased) from all eras. This year, another 500 bricks will be laid.

NOTE: If you would like to assist RFTW in staging the bricks, please show up around 7:00-7:30 AM to lend a hand.
If you would like to carry the brick you have purchased to be placed, please check with RFTW officials on brick day; they can estimate when that brick will be laid.
Six Medal of Honor Bricks will be laid in 2024. This is a special part of the program, with reading of Medal of Honor citations followed by the laying of black granite bricks honoring the recipients.
