Memorial Day long weekend and I only visited one museum, the
American History Museum was quite busy on Memorial Day. I also got to
Pennsylvania Avenue at the right time to see Roaring Thunder, the motorcycle
parade. The name Rolling Thunder couldn’t have been a better name, those bikes
were LOUD. I got there just in time to see the very start of the parade, and at
that parade I saw more than a life’s share of heavy motorcycles. The Rolling Thunder raises awareness for POW
(Prisoners of War) and MIA (missing in action), basically, personnel who have
not returned from war but are not dead. I stood there for about 90 minutes and
the motorcycles just keep on coming, I have no idea how long it went on but 90
minutes of non-stop motor bikes was enough for me and I went in the museum.
