About 375 motorcyclists heading to the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington, D.C., ride along Interstate 10 after a stop Thursday in Marana. Three groups, each taking a different route in the 10-day, 3,000-mile Run for the Wall, started the journey Wednesday in Ontario, California. The ride, established in 1989, is intended to promote healing among veterans and to call attention to POWs and troops missing in action. Find more photos at tucson.com/gallery
