Hundreds of motorcycles streamed into Meridian Monday evening as riders in the annual Run For the Wall journeyed to the Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington DC. Meridian, which has become a favorite stop for riders on the Southern Route of Run For The Wall, hosted the convoy overnight at the Lauderdale County Agri-Center, where they were treated to a hot meal, laundry service and a breakfast donated by local restaurants.
