the wall that heals

In this episode Brenton and Jenna sit down with Tim Tetz. Tim is the Director of Public Outreach at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund. In his role Tim is responsible for managing The Wall That Heals, is a 375-foot long replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, honoring the nearly eight million Americans who served in the U.S. Armed Forces during the Vietnam War. It bears the names of the more than 58,000 men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in Vietnam. The replica wall has been brought to over 700 communities through partnerships between the VVMF and truck drivers and trucking companies. Our conversation covers Tim's military service, the goals of the VVMF and some special stories related to the wall and people's interaction with it.

In this episode, Brenton and Jenna are joined by Hopper driver Ray Boire. Ray has partnered with Autumn Transport for around three years. Ray was at the Autumn office showing The Wall That Heals to our dispatch and operations staff. During our conversation Ray talks with us about his service in the Army, his experience as a bouncer at concerts and clubs, how he got into trucking, and why volunteering as a driver to pull The Wall That Heals trailer means so much to him. Thank you, Ray, for your service to our country, and for donating your time and money to be involved with The Wall That Heals.
