The "Remember the Wounded Ride" is a two-year trek for King, who started in Salem, Oregon on May 7th and will end in Washington D.C.  The total trip will be about 20,000 miles.  He's averaging 60 miles per day.  King says, "I feel I'm earning the respect of the nation by doing this ride. You know, respect is earned, it's not given to you. And I feel, you know, by doing this ride I can earn the respect of the nation and turn their donations so that we can help do these programs that we have in place."  King's goal is to raise one million dollars.  For details on how to donate go to rememberthewoundedride.com.
