'Rolling Thunder' bikers pay tribute to America's war dead and to M-I-A's
during a wreath laying ceremony at the Tomb of the The bikers' annual 'Freedom Ride' Memorial Day tribute known as 'Rolling Thunder' is traditionally attended by tens of thousands,
and is scheduled to roll from the Pentagon (news - web sites) to the National Mall Sunday morning.

She asked me if I had been in Vietnam. I said yes.....and then she said the words that healed...that allowed the scabs and scars to be taken away.
"WELCOME HOME"
Same thing happened to me this morning. I was out grocery shopping and a couple of VFW reps were handing out American flag pins in front of the entrance.
They asked me the same question (I look my age, you see). And came up with the same reply.
No better medicine. . .

I also enlited when I was 17, in the Navy.
I also remained quiet for decades after I returned.
My time to talk happened about 10 years ago.
A history professor at a local college was seeking
Viet Nam Vets to speak to his class.
I almost did not go, but felt that I had to.
I had to speak for those who died and those who were left behind.
It was a life changing experience for me.
Welcome Home Brothers and Sisters.
PS I was sent notice of this site this week.Welcome Home Bro !!
