    Just wondering why this is the final time? And thank you for this wonderful show of support especially the Vietnam Wall Memorial part.

    I can tell you that it's being canceled because the bikers completely shut down the entire city, there's that many of them. That's the plain truth to the whole thing.

      That's completely wrong Joe, pentagon police where very lax with the staging of the demonstration riders and traffic control. The city of DC didn't stop this patriot event, the founders of Rolling Thunder decided to make this the final year. Big lost for all POW/MIA military veterans, their families, and all great patriotic supporters.

    Joe
    Either that, or there is nobody in the ranks who are 33rd degree.

    As above, so below

    I have been there several times and I can tell you it certainly is a sight to see. The Marines that hold their salutes for the entire procession is remarkable. You should go on Sunday for the bike parade if not for anything else.

    City cannot handle the traffic. Imagine that, DC with traffic problems on a national holiday. Worse part, this traffic nightmare is known each and every year....not that there isn't 364 days to properly plan for it either.

    Sad!

    Logistics, expense, and harrassment by pentagon & dc police is what is making this the final Rolling Thunder. Thank you Artie Mueller for 32 years of managing this demonstration in support of our POW/MIA warriors.
