We attended
the monthly meeting for Indiana Rolling Thunder Chapter One today. They are getting ready to participate in the
27th Ride to the Wall over the Memorial Day weekend. We’ve participated in this ride for the last
four years and will miss going with them this year, it just doesn’t fit into
the budget since we had some unexpected repairs on the RV this year. We are now living on a fixed income and
getting along very well, but we just can’t afford to jeopardize the budget.
Today we
took over our past duties of quartermasters.
That spot hasn’t been filled yet so we were glad to help out. Greg is holding down the fort while I take a
few pictures.
The Ride to the Wall promotes involvement in POW/MIA issues. Our group addresses and actively lobbies our congress men and women on issues that impact the future policies of the U.S. Government and U.S. Military. This directly relates to its handling of those service men and women that become missing or captured during a time of war.
The ride isn’t
a parade, it is a protest demonstration to draw attention to the fact that we
still have POW/MIAs that have not been brought home.
If you are a
relative, close or distant, of an unaccounted-for Indiana service member from
our nation’s past conflicts, our chapter would like to hear from you. We are hoping to get more DNA samples to add
to the Department of Defense database which will be used to try to identify
remains of unidentified service members.
