 This afternoon The Wall accompanied by hundreds of motorcyclists made its way through Brookville on the way to its next destination and hundreds of locals showed up to watch the convoy along Main Street. The Wall is a model of the Vietnam Memorial. It is an American Veterans Traveling Tribute and this week it will be set up for the 6th annual Rumble on the River motorcycle and music rally in Tionesta.
