The Rolling Thunder motorcycles which descend on Washington, D.C. every year on Memorial Day weekend rode through one last time on Sunday, ending a three decades-long tradition.
The group formed in 1987 by a veteran named Artie Muller and got its name from a 1965 bombing campaign against North Vietnam. It was initially meant to serve to pay tribute to fallen and missing-in-action soldiers.
It became synonymous with the Memorial Day celebration in Washington, but last year they announced 2019 would be their final ride citing lack of cooperation by law enforcement and the rising costs of permits.

This is what AMERICA is about the Freedoms that those who have gave all and those of us that make sure America doesn't forget What our Veterans fought for God Bless America.

@MrBurtonious 5 лет назад

Im hoping there is a chapter near me, so next year we can do this all over the country. Not as an event, like it is in Washington, just veteran riders and military families getting out, taking a ride, and being appreciative of the sacrifices of those that came before us, and those that didn't come back with us.

I feel sad that this is the last year that these Patriot's will be doing this ride. When the Marine and Motorcyclist hugged it brought tears to my eyes, it was so beautiful. I want to thank each and every one of those brave men and women who have and are risking their lives to defend our country. May the ones who have given their all for Our Country, Rest in Peace. 🙏🙏

I took my 2006 SoftTail to BelAir from MA in 2014 and participated in the ride. It was awesome. No live music, not a drop of alcohol served, no biker party. Just one big show of American Pride for our Armed forces and those Missing in Action. They will continue this tradition, I am sure of it!!

@Clem Cornpone 🌵 I just looked at it like a bunch of guys who had camaraderie because they had something so severe and traumatic happened the war in common and know it was a phony War we all know now that it was a phony War but these guys still have the memory and the camaraderie. Our military personnel are severely brutalized during war and then to have to put up with it after the war when they're injured and can't get the help they were guaranteed and promised when they signed up ???????????????? Thank you for replying 05-27-19. 8:17 am pdt

@gringagringa3307 5 лет назад

@Clem Cornpone 🌵 I knew a man who got hooked on Heroin in Vietnam and how does that happen who gave him that heroin and he re-enlisted back to Vietnam because it was hooked on Heroin and I'm going to ask you again how did he get the heroin that is a controlled trade Commerce and again thank you for replying.

@ShimrraJamaane 5 лет назад

@Clem Cornpone "Look at how many of them express the crackpot notion that POWs are still being held in Vietnam." If you think that is what POW/MIA means, you are just as crazy as the fictitious people you just claimed to abhor. It was initially created because of Vietnam. However, it also stands for all POW/MIA these days. In addition, you seem to wholly miss the fact that there is "MIA" in the name. There are a massive number of MIA that have not been resolved. "not traitor worshippers and irrational haters of an enemy from 44 years ago." Traitor worshippers? Do you even know any of these people? Because some have a confederate flag, you call them traitors? I am absolutely certain you know none of these people. The entire lot was filled with people of all races and creeds. There was only compassion among everyone there. How kind of you to label them as something they are not because you see the flag as something different than they do. Also, before you make the claim I know you would if I don't say this: I do not nor ever shall I own a confederate flag. "Let them celebrate patriotically." Which they did. "Why should their celebrations have to also celebrate treason and paranoia?" There was never any such celebration. I rode with them and was also in the staging areas with them for five hours. Nothing but care and compassion for literally everyone around them. Which, as I said earlier, included people of all races and creeds.

It's sad that our government can send 100s of billions of dollars overseas to countries that don't need it, instead of allocating some to further this great cause. If the dems cared anything about us, this stimulus money should be kept here.

Is the FOCUS on the dead who are 6 feet under or on big loud bikes? Point noted. Outlaw all motorcycles in DC on Memorial Day. And if you are not active duty military, you should not wear a uniform in public.
