Gallery: Rolling Thunder

[Chip NoVaMac]

For those that might not know, Rolling Thunder is a Memorial Day demonstration to remember those that died in service to the the US. But also to remember those that have not returned home (POW/MIA's). Branching out to recognize that that have come home, but are forgotten in the benefits for their wounds in serving their country.

My thoughts on this gallery is for past or present images from Rolling Thunder. This being an emotional event, I encourage (as long as the Mods allow ) for individual posts, sharing your feelings - whether you were a participant or a viewer of this gallery. Also post any pics you have from any of the 19 Rolling Thunders.

I hate to admit that I was a passive viewer of Rolling Thunder till 2002, a year after 9-11.

The first image I will share from this year, is one that remembers the feelings that we have since 9-11.

Really nice, Chip.

This made me realize that I ned to keep an eye on calendar of events more and get out to some of these things, since we live in such an active area.

Thanks Gary. Just a heads up, 11/11/2006 will see a demonstration of Vets demanding better benefits for our returning wounded from Iraq and Afghanistan.
