Dear Volunteer:<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you for volunteering!\u00a0 The countdown is on and the excitement is growing!\u00a0 It has taken months of planning and hard work to finally bring this event to fruition and you will be able to say \"I was part of this great event\".<\/span><\/p>\n

In a few short days, the WALL will be arriving, brought to the Daniel Boone High School by a motorcycle escort.\u00a0 Motorcycles from near and far will be escorting The Wall That Heals<\/em><\/strong>, gathering at our rally point at The Sunnybrook Ballroom parking area in Pottstown.\u00a0 The escort will leave promptly on July 5th<\/sup> at\u00a0 9 a.m. and should arrive in Birdsboro by 10 a.m.\u00a0 Tell your friends and family to support and witness this once in a lifetime procession along 422 West between Pottstown and Birdsboro.\u00a0 Wave your flags and show your support as they slowly pass by.\u00a0 Vietnam Veterans will be leading the truck in the procession and the remainder of the motorcycles will be following the truck, protecting it and keeping it safe.\u00a0 Give them the \"Welcome Home\" that our nation seemed to have overlooked so many years ago.<\/span><\/p>\n

Volunteer Training (for GREETERS ONLY):\u00a0 <\/strong>You will need to arrive for your initial Volunteer training on Thursday, July 5th at 5 p.m.\u00a0\u00a0 Please park in the East parking lot (enter at Garey Road).\u00a0 Upon your arrival sign-in at the Information tent and receive your volunteer t-shirt.\u00a0 At 5:30 pm a brief overview of the site e.g. VSO\u2019s, amenities and guidelines will be reviewed.\u00a0 After which The Wall That Heals<\/em><\/strong> staff will then provide a hands-on training regarding the TWTH, Mobile Education Center and the etiquette of a greeter.\u00a0 Training is expected to be 45 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n
