Over 800,000 people came to DC this weekend on more than 500,000 motorcycles. An amazing display. All wearing some kind of leather in 90 degree heat.
Rolling Thunder was here to remind us to never forget our veterans, our MIAs and our POWs.
They come to ride by the White House and buzz POTUS as a friendly reminder.
But POTUS isn’t here this weekend.
He must be in Louisiana helping our fisherman in the Gulf. Nope.
He is in Chicago.
He must be taking in a Stanley Cup Finals game. Nope.
Our President missed an awesome display of chrome and noise this weekend.
We shall never forget.
See this film widget for a bunch of Memorial Day themed films too. It is OK to watch them after Memorial Day as well.
Hi Ted – I took in part of Rolling Thunder by watching motorcycles stream down Independence Avenue and watched the Blackhawks beat the Flyers on NBC last night. The President gave a Memorial Day speech thanking and honoring our veterans that was probably covered by news outlets around the world. I’m comfortable with his choice of activities for this weekend but not so much with him not being in the house for a Caps game. Let’s remind him of your invitation. Thanks, Ken
