Making a ‘Run’: Local veterans make long trek to Capital

SAN BENITO — A pair of Valley Veterans have spent several hours of the past few days on their motorcycles.

They have had one destination in mind — Washington, D.C.

Johnny Montemayor and Tony Mendoza, both of San Benito, have been making their way to the Capital for the past week.

They made it.

Along with hundreds of other riders, the pair reached Washington yesterday and today will tour some of the sites.

It is all part of the XXVIII annual Run for the Wall ride.

Run for the Wall is an annual cross-country motorcycle 10-day event ride from Ontario, California, to Washington, DC.
