For the 37th consecutive year, thousands of patriotic motorcyclists from across the nation converged on Washington, D.C. to take part in “Rolling to Remember.” The annual demonstration ensures America never forgets its missing service members and addresses the mental health struggles many veterans face.
This powerful tradition transforms the capital into a living tribute, as the sound of engines becomes a resounding call for remembrance, support and advocacy.
The event began at the Pentagon’s north parking lot, where riders gathered and rolled across the Arlington Memorial Bridge.
“There’s a whole generation of bikers who were in Vietnam who still are coming here,” said annual attendee Lena Kotler. “And so we want to salute them. We want to thank them for all of their service. And we just appreciate everything that they’ve done for America.”
