Rolling Thunder Riders Honor Unknown, Visit With Kids

As part of a weekend of events, Rolling Thunder riders visited with kids who lost a parent in military service, and joined in a wreath-laying ceremony for an unknown soldier. Thus year marks the 25th anniversary of the Rolling Thunder Ride for Freedom, a motorcycle rally in the nation's capital. Started in 1988 as a protest to bring more awareness to issues about POW/MIA soldiers, Rolling Thunder now has 90 chapters across the United States and expects more than 900,000 veterans and their supporters to participate in the ride.
