A Marine's Why - Bob Hatcher and Run For The Wall

Описание: A last minute call to meet the Run For The Wall Midway crew who were stopping for the night about 90 minutes away from where I live in Tennessee. What a treat to meet these patriotic and loyal riders, mostly~but not all, veterans. I had the good fortune to sit down with Bob Hatcher, a United States Marine whose life has been shaped by service, sacrifice, and brotherhood—both in combat and long after the war ended. A dedicated rider with Run For The Wall, he shares the deeply personal reasons why this journey to Washington, D.C. continues to matter so profoundly to him. Through vivid recollections of Vietnam, powerful reunions with fellow Marines, and moments that time could never erase, he reflects on the bonds forged under fire and the responsibility to remember those who never made it home. He also tells of what I call heroic story behind his call sign, “Trip Wire,” a name born from experience and circumstance that carries meaning only another combat Marine could fully understand. His words remind us that Run For The Wall is not just a ride—it is a mission of remembrance, healing, and honor carried forward by those who lived it.

This rapid paced story-after-story interview will rip you through the jungles of Vietnam and the highways of America. His memory is as sharp as a tack. Enjoy!
