(3) K-3 Illustrated by Greg Ruth. In spare poetic verse, Messner pays tribute to U.S. military veterans. On his motorcycle, Vietnam veteran Grandpa meets his war buddies for the Rolling Thunder Ride for Freedom demonstration. They ride into Washington, DC, where Grandpa is joined by his family at "The Wall" to honor those who lost their lives. Ruth's muted, somber illustrations capture the emotions of the experience.
