i was at Rolling Thunder in D.C. one year. Most of the people there - if I had run into them anywhere else - probably would have made me uncomfortable given the stereotypes we all know. However, it didn’t take long to realize that I was safer there than anywhere - these were good people. They took their patriotism seriously and it was a privilege to be there with them.
Last March I stood Marshal with Rolling Thunder members, at GOE in DC. They, like PGR, have great hearts!! We have some people who are members of both organizations, here.
Rolling Thunder of 2008 had the largest turnout of motoscycles in a single gathering in the history of the United States!! An estimated 400,000-500,000 Bikes and Bikers gathered to celebrate the lives of soldiers everywhere. The pictures taken that day are amazing. A great many of these riders are also Patriot Guard Riders, including my boyfriend. Anyone, not only the PGR, who shows respect to the soldiers of this country...these people will have my utmost respect til my dying day ;~)
