General Rolling Thunder Ride to the Wall Info
In 2008 the POW MIA Ride to the Wall will be the 21st anniversary of the
event that gives us an opportunity to remember our veterans who sacrificed
their lives for our freedom and also to bring attention to the POW and
MIA problem. The Rolling Thunder Motorcycle Ride is one of the largest
motorcycle rides in the United States and is on the 2008 Lightning Customs
Major Motorcycle Events List.
Rolling to the Wall Thunder Events
The Rolling Thunder Ride to the Wall will attract some 800,000 plus riders
as well as many patriotic non-riders who line the streets. This POW MIA
ride starts at the Pentagon and finishes at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial
Wall. The area around the Reflecting Pool in Washington DC not only has
many important monuments, but has a lot of monuments for the veterans
of American Wars.
Although the other monuments are powerful reminders of the sacrifice our
brothers and sisters have made, the Vietnam Memorial Wall is something
that you have to see and when you do see the Wall it is something that
is overwhelming.
