About 400,000 men and women on motorcycles met up in the parking lot for the Pentagon. At noon, the long procession started the ride to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial on the National Mall.
The riders come from all over the country. Many are veterans themselves, but many are not.
"We're just here to support all veterans, and all the guys out there fighting," says a man riding with his 12-year-old daughter.

Many years ago, I watched them when they came to Salisbury. To be able to watch them is a very emotional and powerful experience. It's hard not to shed a tear or more, ( at least it was for me ) because of the pride that swelled in my heart for those who fought and died for all of us. America is in a mess right now it saddens me to think that they may have died in vane. We The People need to take our country back and make these fallen heros proud of us again!

Awesome photo!
ReplyDeleteNo one has died in vain until that day when we 'allow' ourselves not to be free.
ReplyDeleteIt may or may not be coming but we are not there yet.
And if that day does arrive, we have no one to blame but OURSELVES.
Stop pointing fingers and take a look in the mirror.
