I did this ride with 6 people last year. We came from Kansas, Tennessee, and Virginia. This was truely a memorable ride. We got to the pentagon parking lot at about 10am. We packed a lunch and waited until noon when the parade started. We got out of the parking lot at 2pm. We rode to the wall after that. I wish I would be in the country to do this again.

Thanks Bear and I see we have another Fayboy in the house!LOL Don't think I am going to make the Wall ride this year. But I am making plans for next year!.

Would love to do this ride. Any one going from Maryland have room for me?

05/03/05 500 riders left Performance harley in syacuse NY to binghamton to esc*ort the wall back to the NYS fair grounds, 3000 met in binghamton to esc*ort it to the fair grounds...awsome site to see...it was great!!

This is my first year to ride to the wall. I belong to Task Force Omega and we will be leaving here in Russell Springs, Ky. on the 24th of may for Owingsville where there will be free camping. Hope to see some of youall there, then from there we go to LZ Rainelle W.V. God Bless our troops.... John

Congratulations bro and thank you for your service to our country.

I live in the suburbs of Wash.D.C.and I will be in town this year to do this ride also.

Just a note:

The Rolling Thunder Run for the Wall is Sunday, May 29th this year.

I'd post a link but it's against the TOS. You can googlesearch Rolling Thunder and it'll come up. There are also bike shows and lots of Biker events in around the DC Area that week as well.

I'm an RVN vet who's wanted to do this since they started it 22(?) years ago.

Just happens this is my year!

Regards

The eye is doing good. The weather is getting warm and the bike is ready to roll. I am out of here! Hope to see you all on the rode. Will post more when I get back. Ride safe.

Hey Lady thanks for the info. I know what ya mean tho, my uncle (the COP) stopped me for having a light out on a car I had borrowed & he asked for my info also. Of course he had to give me a hard time about the pic.

I wonder if the border patrol would accept my passport I havent used it since I came to live in the US in "64" When we moved here from Spain where I was born on the USAFB. I did have to go see the JUDGE before I could go to school here. I was born to US citizens on a USAFB but they wouldnt let me go to school till I was deemed a citizen of the USA & they made my brother 5 years older start in Kindergarden all over again, after having 3 years of formal schooling in Spain.

Questions to all you Vets...I get DOD reporrts cause of my work. In those reports I also recieve info on Identified MIA's, I know the media doesnt put out that info would ya'll like me to post it. I know I get very emotional over this subject as I have seen Vets do as well. I think it's good to know the MIA's truely have NOT BEEN FORGOTTEN. Please let me know, here or give me a yahell leather lady 63 no spaces.

Hiya Leather, Yes it is part of the new law that just passed for homeland security act. you dont need your passport to get into canada but you need it to get into the USA! I lived on the canadian border all my life and its going to stink..espcially when its a border gaurd who you went to highschool with asking for your passport...

Hey Bear, great new pics.

Sorry a lil off the subject, Does anyone that goes between Canada & the US know anything on the boarder crossing changes?? Here in WA I heard something about having to have your passport to get back into your own country.

Thanks to all for the good words. I really appreciate everything. Hope to see you all on the road in the years to come.

I hope the ride is as great or greater than the past years. Take care ride safe and have one awesome time.

Iowa .. I hope your surgery goes well... You will be in my prayers.

Take care, stay safe, ride with the wind at your back always.

Hey bear6664
Thanks for the invite. I will certainly keep it in mine.I will be P.A. bound sometime in end of july and Harley I will have. You will certainly hear my ironhorse rolling into town.Thanks again

Prayers to ya Iowa, I have had some eye surgeries & I feel for ya.

Bear ya keep it going for those of us that cant make the run. I will be with ya in spirit!

Angel, I have to say I have thought alot about your post since I read it. I feel bad that most of us do not mention all the BRAVE WOMEN that have served our country & yes other countries Vets. A very good friend of mine is also a Vet that served on the Carl for many years & just retired to finish raising her 2 kids. I also have send male to a young lady that recently has returned from her first tour in Iraq. THANKS ALL YOU WOMEN VETS!!!
I never really thought a lot about Vets from other countries till recently...I think all of those that join their countries Military to help others achieve freedom is one of the most selfless acts one can do.

I'm disbled myself & not able to join, not to mention I dont take orders well, unless it's for Leather orders LOL. Most of my leather work proceeds goes to send carepackages to my HEROS in Afghanistan & Iraq. God Bless & keep ya all safe always!

Thanks to all of my HEROS of the Past & Present.

Hi to all of you and especially the vets. I salute you and all the great things that you did for your country. My uncle, David Cooper who lost his life in Vietnam is on that wall and he was a marine who fought for his country. He was a great guy and very proud to be an American. However I am a Canadian and my family lives in Philadelphia . I certainly wish I had the time to ride with you this year but cannot. I will however make every effort next year to get to this ride and show my support.

I am a disabled Vet. I am a Marine. My unit was in Beirut in 1982-1983. I make all the local rides to honor all the vets. I may be able to make the 06 ride. If the other eye is still working. I would love the company of any Vet that wants to ride for the wall. I go into surgery on the working eye again this Friday. Hope to post more next week.

Sounds like a unique experience everyone should have the opportunity to have.

Patriotism at it's finest!!
