Thousands of motorcycles are rolling through the city Sunday to honor those who sacrificed their lives to ensure our freedom.

It’s the 25th annual Rolling Thunder Run, and the bikers have plenty of events planned.

On Sunday, they plan to meet on the National Mall and hold a ceremony at the Lincoln Memorial. The plan called for bikers to gather in the Pentagon parking lots before moving up Washington Boulevard in Arlington to the Memorial Bridge. Crossing into the District, the procession moved down Constitution Avenue to Pennsylvania Avenue. Turning onto Third Street, the route took a hard right onto Independence Avenue before turning off at the Tidal Basin and coming to a stop on Ohio Drive.

On the holiday Monday, there are multiple events scheduled, including a ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery and a remembrance ceremony at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.
