Memorial Day Weekend and Motorcycles

Today thousands of motorcycles started to pour into town. Every Memorial Weekend "Rolling Thunder" and other veteran groups come to Washington DC. All up and down the Mall are parked thousands of motorcycles. Veterans from across the country riding the bikes into town has been a tradition going back to the end of the Vietnam War. The majority of the bike riders are now in their 50s and 60s, and it does not take much to realize that the tradition will for the most part pass away in twenty-five to thirty-five years.
