The Ride For Freedom is an annual event, held each Memorial Day Weekend. It begins on Friday with the traditional Gold Star Mothers dinner, and the Flame of Freedom evening vigil. Formally held and hosted by Rolling Thunder® National in Washington D.C. Now however, each state or region holds its own event, and this year the Chapter Presidents chose Chapter 1 to host it.
The purpose of the ride is to bring awareness of the current Prisoner of War(s) and those who are still missing from previous wars and conflicts. The government is doing what they can with the resources they have, but it takes way to long to search for and identify remains. They need to do more!
