WASHINGTON (AFP) - US President George W. Bush donned a black leather biker jacket Sunday as he was given honorary membership in the Rolling Thunder motorcycle group which paraded through Washington to honor veterans on Memorial Day. Tens of thousands of members of the biker group joined the parade down the US capital's main boulevards Sunday in the group's annual "Ride for Freedom" event to celebrate US soldiers and sailors and press for greater benefits for veterans. Rolling Thunder leaders including National Executive Director Artie Muller met Bush at the White House, where they presented him with the vest in honor of their 21st Memorial Day ride. Bush called the masses of motorcycles, which he observed from his helicopter just moments before, "a magnificent sight." "We just choppered in, Artie, and saw your brothers and sisters cranking up their machines and driving through the nation's capital -- many of them have got the flag on the back," Bush told them.
The man with no shame.

Their hearts are in the right place, although their brains may not be. "...many of the bikers are veterans. A few years ago, I naively believed that Rolling Thunder just referred to a group of bikers riding through downtown Washington, DC. I was so wrong; Rolling Thunder is a charitable and politically active organization extremely dedicated to our soldiers and veterans. In fact “the major function of Rolling Thunder®, Inc. is to publicize POW-MIA issues: to educate the public that many American prisoners of war were left behind after all previous wars and to help correct the past and to protect future veterans from being left behind should they become prisoners of war-missing in action.” http://(www.rollingthunder1.com). The organization is accordingly committed to helping American veterans from all wars as its supports member advocacy for our troops, POW/MIA’s, and their families.....The parade is held to pay homage to America’s vets, specifically the POWs and MIAs from all wars....." http://www.bloggernews.net/115889 The History of Rolling Thunder's "Run to the Wall"
