Trail of Honor

Trail of Honor What began as a pit stop on the RUN FOR THE WALL, has evolved into a 3 day event featuring living history demonstrations of every American War.

The TRAIL OF HONOR began in 2003 as a way to welcome the RUN FOR THE WALL riders and to honor our vets. What began with a single Civil War cannon grew into an event staffed by more than 300 Living Historians and Volunteers and attracted more than 35,000 visitors in 2010. In October 2023, the Trail of Honor Board Announced …The Trail of Honor has officially been retired. The Trail of Honor Board of

Directors did not, by any means, take the responsibility to make this decision lightly. We have discussed the pending retirement for almost 2 years with those that have had the need to know and will continue to work with RFTW to make this transition as seamless as possible. We cannot say Thank You enough to all that have played a part in making this partnership between Run For The Wall and the Trail of Honor such a success since it all began in May 2000. God Bless Our Defenders and Warriors, welcome in Our Fallen Heroes who paid the ultimate sacrifice for Our Freedoms, hold close Our Gold Star Families and the Friends and Loved Ones left behind, comfort and heal Our Brothers and Sisters who continue to fight unseen wounds every day, and bestow safety upon those who are on Mission every day. Travel Mercies to All. Godspeed and Never Forget

It is with profound sadness that the Congressional Medal of Honor Society shares the passing of Medal of Honor Recipient Colonel Bruce P. Crandall, U.S. Army (Ret.), who was awarded the Medal of Honor for his extraordinary heroism during the Battle of Ia Drang in Vietnam. He passed away peacefully at his home on May 31, 2026, at the age of 93.

A legendary Army aviator, Colonel Crandall was awarded the Medal of Honor for repeatedly flying his UH-1 Huey helicopter into intense enemy fire on November 14, 1965, to deliver critical ammunition and evacuate wounded Soldiers. Completing 22 flights through relentless enemy fire, his actions saved countless lives and became one of the most celebrated acts of courage in Army aviation history.

With Colonel Crandall's passing, there are now 63 living Medal of Honor Recipients.
