Vietnam Vets
The older veterans in the March to San Antonio are Vietnam vets. They are hilarious in the morning. They bring an energy that wakes everybody up.

March to San Antonio Day 4
It’s a foggy morning. We’ll be delaying our departure for safety. We are working on getting police to escort us out of the town so that we’re visible to traffic. It’s about 40 miles to our next stop in George West, Texas.
