Rolling Thunder 2008

MAY 2008 Rolling Thunder Rally

At a “Ride for Freedom” rally, Rolling Thunder members and others talked about missing and fallen comrades, current military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, and vowed to continue their efforts on POW/MIA issues. This event was held on a stage at the Reflecting Pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial.

Rolling Thunder was founded by motorcycle enthusiasts who were veterans of the Vietnam War.
