For those who don’t know, we had a Brother go down yesterday during our Poker Run. It was slow speed, and a single bike/no collision incident. Needless to say, he did suffer injuries but is “A OK”.
I posted this on our Rolling Thunder® Chapter 3 Florida Facebook page, but I wanted to share it here as well.
“A BIG shout out to Amvets 57 and Ed & Crystal Gasco for all your help yesterday. With out Y’all’s help yesterday it would have been a lot more difficult on the Chapter. Your Brotherhood/Sisterhood is much appreciated.
By the way, he was the Road Captain. “
Embers 57 Lake City and Ed & Crystal Gasco. Thank you.

STOLEN FLAGS UPDATE

All eight flags that were stolen from the Newberry Veterans Memorial in August were replaced last week after U.S. Rep. Kat Cammack traveled to Newberry to deliver new ones.
After the flags were stolen, Cammack announced that her office would work with the Department of Defense to provide the new flags, which included a United States flag, a POW/MIA flag and one for each branch of the military. City Manager Jordan Marlowe told Mainstreet that although replacement flags have been flying in place of the stolen ones, the new flags from Cammack are the same quality and official brand as those flying at the state level. |
This is outrageous!
Who would do such a thing? I hope they catch whomever is responsible and they are treated like the criminals they are.
If you know anything about this incident, please contact local law enforcement |

Good afternoon,
We are deeply appreciative of the time and effort your group took to put together the flag raising ceremony for the Sysco South RDC. It was a memorable event for everyone there. Below is an article we are submitting for publication in our Sysco international newsletter. We thank you for the generous gifts of the American and POW/MIA flags that show our support for our country and those who have served it, especially for those who still remain unaccounted for.

Neshanic Station, NJ – Arthur "Artie" Muller, 80, entered into eternal life on Saturday, April 26, 2025, at his residence, surrounded by his beloved family. He was born in New York City, NY, to the late Arthur J. and Cecilia (née Pereira) Muller, and grew up in Elizabeth, NJ. Following his marriage, he lived in Roselle Park, NJ, and Linden, NJ, before making Neshanic Station his home in 1979.
Artie pursued carpentry and graduated from Thomas Edison Vocational School in Elizabeth, class of 1963. He served honorably in the United States Army from 1965 to 1967, achieving the rank of sergeant E5 and serving as a combat veteran during the Vietnam War. Artie dedicated over 22 years to Exxon Research & Engineering in Annandale, NJ, where he worked as a senior construction mechanic. His expertise in carpentry contributed significantly to numerous home improvement projects throughout the years.
Among his numerous accomplishments, Artie served as the founder and executive director of Rolling Thunder, Inc., a veteran’s organization that has expanded to 40 chapters today. This organization also led to the establishment of Rolling Thunder Charities, Inc., recognized as one of the most impactful non-profit organizations for veterans in the United States, allocating 95% of all donations received directly to support veterans.
Artie took pleasure in outdoor activities, including fishing with his sons, riding his motorcycle, maintaining his home's landscape, and visiting picturesque locations across the United States such as Wildwood, New Jersey, the Black Hills of South Dakota, Mount Rushmore, and Texas. As a skilled mechanic, he gained significant knowledge from his childhood experiences of constructing hot-rods with friends. Artie was a parishioner of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Roman Catholic Church in Three Bridges, NJ.
In addition to his parents, Arthur was predeceased by his sister, Mary Heintz.
Artie is survived by his beloved wife of 57 years, Elaine M. (née Ciuba) Muller; two loving sons, Michael C. Muller of Flemington, NJ and Joseph D. Muller and his spouse Nickcole of Pennsylvania; four dear siblings, Cecilia St. Miklosy, Carol Hurst, James Muller, and John Muller; two treasured grandchildren, Alivia Muller and Gavin Muller; and cherished several nieces and nephews.

Newberry Veterans Memorial
Today, the City of Newberry Government received a $90,000 donation towards the Newberry Veterans Memorial from the Community Foundation of North Central Florida! I am speechless!
This is a tremendously generous gift, but beyond that, this community has responded to this initiative in an incredible way. The Veteran’s Memorial is now fully funded, and it is through your support! There are a lot of folks we need to thank. Commissioner Mark Clark has been the project manager, and he will make sure that we show our gratitude to everyone who has made this happen. For now, I just want to say thank you! T
This is going to be a beautiful memorial: a memorial every man and woman who has served this Country can be proud of!

Hero’s come in all shapes and sizes and can appear when unique circumstances demand their appearance. Such is the case with one of our Rolling Thunder members’ wives. Last week Fawna donated a piece of her kidney to one of our Veterans. She participated in a program through the Mayo Clinic that matches Veterans with donors. Wow! Prayers for the recovery of both the Veteran and our Rolling Thunder Heroin. And special kudos to a Lady that defies the norm and quietly steps up when the circumstances demand an appearance.
