Rolling Thunder riders honor veterans and MIA with Memorial Day ride

Over 300 bikers and members of Rolling Thunder rode from Laishley Park in Punta Gorda to Bert’s Black Widow Harley-Davidson on Sunday morning.

A roll of thunder can be a frightening sound, but it signifies support for those who served and sacrificed. Members of Rolling Thunder, an advocacy group for prisoners of war and those missing in action, gathered for Memorial Day weekend to express gratitude to all veterans. Dr. Lance Armstrong stated, “Because I have a missing cousin, that’s the focus of Rolling Thunder, along with helping veterans in need.” Founded 37 years ago as a protest ride in Washington D.C., Rolling Thunder aims to show support for the military. “To remind Congress, P.O.W.s and M.I.A.s must come home first,” remarked Carl Steinhoff, chairman of Rolling Thunder, Chapter 5. More than 300 bikers rode from Laishley Park in Punta Gorda to Bert’s Black Widow Harley-Davidson on Sunday morning. Riders hope this effort will one day bring relief to families of the fallen.

“Currently, we have 82,000 still missing in action since World War I. Rolling Thunder is one of the key events we do to support groups traveling back to countries like North Africa, Europe, and Southeast Asia to locate remains, conduct DNA testing, and reunite them with their families,” Steinhoff explained.
