Airpirate Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 3000 vets on motorcycles from across the USA paraded in D.C. the Sunday before Memorial Day, while a solitary, saluting Marine greeted them out on constitution Avenue... the Marine stood at salute for 3 straight hours while the parade of roaring bikes kept on coming.... it is held in remembrance of those who've fallen in the military.... the event (or the group) is called Rolling Thunder... George Bush used to meet these bikers before they paraded... the camera is on the Marine a lot... watch his struggles with his emotions, and his struggles with holding that salute... the way he salutes is very touching... his head lowered, his eyes down, in reverence for the fallen... it got to be overwhelming for him... and the tears started flowing...but keeps right on holding that salute... click on this link to see the video: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Injun Pete Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Want to get tearie eyed....got to your nearest Veterans Center/Nursing Home and visit some of the residents....spend an hour or so with them and if you leave without shedding a tear...you have no heart....

Scalper38 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Been there several times and was there this year. Always a good time but I saw only 2 or 3 Indians this year as opposed to 5 or 6 in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
