From the event organizer:

On Sunday of this Memorial Day Weekend, for the 36th consecutive year, thousands of patriotic motorcyclists from across the nation will converge on our Nation's capital to once again let it be known that they will never forget.

We hope that you join us!

Rolling to Remember is a massive motorcycle demonstration ride, starting in the Pentagon’s parking lot, rolling through Washington, D.C., demanding full accounting for America’s POWs and MIAs and to raise awareness of the mental health crisis stealing thousands of veterans’ lives a year.

The Pentagon’s North Lot is slated to once again serve as the staging area of this year’s Rolling to Remember demonstration ride.

Come ride with us. Be heard.

After completing the ride, join us for a vigil at the Lincoln Memorial as we honor and remember those for whom our nation has yet to account.f
