Rolling Thunder bikers roar down Constitution Avenue and other Washington streets on May 26, 2013. It was the 26th year members have come to honor fallen American troops/Patricia Leslie
Rolling Thunder began its annual trip to Washington in 1988 to recognize Vietnam War veterans who had been forgotten.
From the Rolling Thunder website:
Rolling Thunder’s mission is to educate, facilitate, and never forget by means of a demonstration for service members that were abandoned after the Vietnam War. Rolling Thunder has also evolved into a display of patriotism and respect for all who defend our country.
As of May 22, 2013, American military casualties total 4,488 deaths from the Iraq War, and 2,220 American military members have died as a result of American participation in the war in Afghanistan.
