"I know a lot of the people whose names are on the wall... I start reading the names and I just break down, I can't do it," said Kenneth Weaver who rode one of the motorcycles at the front of the pack.

Weaver shows his support by helping escort the travelling wall along with hundreds of others.

"It's pretty emotional.  I think anybody who goes through it leaves with something," said Duane Lord of the Knights of Columbus.

The escort travelled 30 miles on Tuesday to take the wall to the Union County Fairgrounds, reported ONN's Stephanie Mennecke.

Bikers came from around the state including Canton, Findlay and Lima.

Riders came out to show their support for all reasons, and can't wait to see the wall on display on September 11th.  It's a day past vets can't help but reflect on, as they compare wars.

"This one is a little different. (They are) younger, (they are) using national guard and reserves. When I was in, they didn't do that," said Weaver.

The motorcycle escort went on for miles on Tuesday.  People also lined the streets to watch this escort bring a piece of history to Central Ohio. 

The wall will be up at the Union County fairgrounds from September 11th through the 14th.  It will however be taken down at 9am on that Sunday morning.
