TWIN FALLS, Idaho (KMVT/KSVT) — The 7th Annual Vietnam Veterans Commemorative Motorcycle Ride and Barbecue did just that on Saturday: honor Vietnam Veterans.

"We need to celebrate the Vietnam veterans because they were kind of ridiculed when we came back, shunned, whatever you want to call it, but they weren't appreciated, and thank god that that's changed," said Vietnam Veteran Les Wilson.

Motorcycle riders started with a police escort at Twin Falls City Park, then traveled to Hansen, then to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Jerome, before arriving at the Snake River Canyon National Cemetery in Buhl.

It was an opportunity to honor Vietnam heroes and also be amongst other heroes.
