The Healing Wall-J.B. Hunt Delivering For Veterans

 

The Healing Wall, which is 288 feet long and 6 feet tall at its center, is a three-fifths-scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., which has the names of 58,272 casualties engraved on it.  It was built by the Vietnam and All Veterans of Brevard group, based in Cocoa, Fla., in 2005 and was first displayed in 2006.

Here was what we were asked to perform:

We need to have a Vet Driver/Military Truck present this Saturday evening for a candlelight vigil Saturday evening. Truck and the Wall That Heals would leave Sunday at 1530 with a 200 motorcycle patriot guard escort to Page AZ, then onto St George UT for the final leg.

On a spur of the moment request, we were asked to step in because another carrier couldn't deliver.  The Wall needed to be transported from Florida to Utah. The names on this wall and the generations affected pay a higher price than the few thousand dollars it will cost us to Honor them.  In return, we will be able to exhibit one of our military wrapped tractors in San Diego in late April with the Wall That Heals exhibit for four days.  The group is expecting over 100,000 people to attend this special event at the Midway Ship Museum. 

We used one of our wrapped trucks to do the heavy lifting.  We asked two drivers to team up so the hours of service could be respected.  Our two drivers are Paul Crecelius and Louis Salas.  Here is the feedback we have received already about our drivers:

 

Love your drivers....they helped tear down/load and are so thrilled and honored.
