I missed it again. Every year I secretly plan to ride to Washington DC for Memorial Day weekend. This year I didn't talk about it, didn't mention it to anyone. I figured I would wait until the last minute so as not to jinx myself or my chances of attending. But it just wasn't meant to be (again) and I found myself overseas. On the bright side, I did catch a few news reports on the American Forces Network and caught some good footage of the bikes headed out of the Pentagon parking lot to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.
I really, really want to attend Rolling Thunder - to be a part of something so much bigger than myself, to pay tribute to those who have served before me an have yet to make it home. And I will make it sooner or later. But until then, thank goodness there are folks like Beth Koraska who attended this year with other members of Rolling Thunder NC 1 and took some great pictures.
Thanks Beth!
