Rolling Thunder Salute

Rolling Thunder Salute by mwhatley.
My favorite from this lot of pictures - there was one Marine down on Constitution who stood saluting all the motorcyclists through Rolling Thunder, he didn't move and wasn't distracted by anything. It was really impressive! A lot of the motorcyclists driving by showed their appreciation by leaving him roses at his feet as they drove by.

Thanks Jim! Yes, it was great to see the huge amount of respect that day, something you sadly don't see everyday, you know?
