MONTVALE, Va. (WFXR) — For over 20 years, Montvale Elementary School has been celebrating Run for the Wall motorcycle riders whose route passes by the school while raising awareness and promoting healing for veterans and their families. Run for the Wall began in 1989 with a passion to call for accounting of all Prisoners of War (POW) and those Missing in Action (MIA), to honor the memory of those Killed in Action (KIA) from all wars, and to support military personnel all over the world. What was once a single ride from California to Washington D.C., ending at the Vietnam War Memorial, has grown into a four route mission that not only raises awareness, but money to assist with their mission. During a ride, many years ago, children of Montvale Elementary were on the playground and waved as the bikers drove by on Highway 460. The next year, the bikers stopped to speak to the kids. Now, every year, as the bikers make their way through Virginia, the children, staff, and families of Montvale Elementary look forward to the tradition of graciously hosting these men and women. They take pride in making surethey have a refreshing stop from their long ride, are served lunch, and treated to performances from all grade levels showing their appreciation for the service and sacrifice of all military personnel.

Can't exclude women: Supreme Court on Judge Advocate General recruitments
The Supreme Court on Wednesday came down heavily on the government over the gender disparity in appointments to the Judge Advocate General (JAG) branch of the Army, questioning how the post could be termed gender-neutral when vacancies continue to be bifurcated into male and female categories.'Once women are allowed in JAG, why is a discrimination being made by being posted in A or B area, and why can't they be deployed everywhere,' the bench asked, underlining the need for equal opportunity across all a challenge to the JAG entry notification, the court pointed to the clear inequality in the vacancy distribution—six posts reserved for men and only three for women. It also raised strong objections to the restricted deployment of female JAG officers in combat or frontline zones. The government, represented by the Additional Solicitor General (ASG), defended the policy by saying that women are not deployed in such zones because the government does not want them to become Prisoners of War. He argued that it was a policy decision, not acknowledging that female JAG members are combatants, the ASG cited the Balakot strike as an example of their vital contributions. 'Women are playing a very important role in the back...,' he said, stressing that while the face of warfare is changing, it doesn't negate the continued requirement for a male-dominated fighting court, however, questioned this reasoning and remarked, 'How in today's time can 50% of the population be asked to not enter one area?' Emphasising the need for inclusive mobilisation, the bench said, 'You cannot exclude them and then say only the men will fight.''In a country of such magnitude with a large population and so many hostile countries around, the entire nation is needed to be mobilised, especially in JAG where women are performing really well,' the court concerns of merit, the bench clarified, 'We are not saying that a person who is less deserving should get in, but people on lower merit can't be taken only because of gender.''We don't think Army needs such sort of philosophy,' the court InTrending Reel IN THIS STORY#Supreme Court
