Every year, a group called Rolling Thunder, whose major function is to educate the public about prisoner of war and missing-in-action issues, participate in the annual Memorial Day weekend ride for freedom to the nation's capital.

I wonder if Rummy was in the Pentagon lot like last year? Check out the Boss Hog in post #16.
I bet they set a record this year. I really wish I could have been to this one.

Members of the Rolling Thunder motorcycling group revved their engines on
the White House driveway Sunday during a visit with President Bush, who took
about 10 bikers in jeans and leather jackets for an Oval Office tour....snip....
Rolling Thunder is an organization that seeks to create awareness of POW/MIA
issues and promotes increased veterans' benefits. It has 70 chapters and over
7,000 members throughout the United States and abroad.
Maybe I missed it, but I don't think a mention of the actual numbers of bikers is in
this thread article.
I was pleseantly suprised when ABC Radio News mentioned the number of
bikers at about 250,000.
And included a short, positive audio bit from "Paul Revere", the lead
singer of the old classic band "Paul Revere and The Raiders".
