The sound of thousands of motorcycles revving on a spring Sunday can mean only one thing: It's time for the annual Rolling Thunder Run, which kicks off Memorial Day events around Washington, D.C.
Rolling Thunder brings more than 250,000 motorcyclists to D.C. each Memorial Day weekend to raise awareness of U.S. veterans and soldiers missing in action or held as prisoners of war. The three-day event kicks of Friday evening with a candlelight vigil at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, followed Saturday by a barbecue, speaking program at the Reflecting Pool and wreath presentation at the U.S. Navy Memorial.
Bikers will begin assembling in Pentagon parking lots at 7 a.m. Sunday for the noon ride to the U.S. Capitol; check out the run route to catch a glimpse of the action.o
