Ft. Washington Harley-Davidson participates in Rolling Thunder

Bay Net advertising representative Michelle Shontere participated in the annual Rolling Thunder held in Washington, D.C. every Memorial Day.

“I took these pictures in Ft. Washington at the Ft. Washington Harley Davidson,” Shontere said. “I go every year. This was the 27th year that they did the ride, which was held Sunday, May 25.”

Rolling Thunder is an annual motorcycle rally that is held in Washington, D.C. during the Memorial Day weekend to call for the government’s recognition and protection of Prisoners of War (POWs) and those Missing in Action (MIAs).

The tribute to American war heroes started out in 1988 with 2,500 participants.

Now approximately 900,000 participants and spectators are involved with this annual demonstration in Washington
