Thread: Hard Core Semper Fi.

Pretty inspiring if you ask me, especially when you take into account that there are miles upon miles of motorcycles at that event.

Yup, rolling thunder is a motorcycle ride through Washington DC each year to commemorate POWs, MIA, and KIAs from all wars. They have thousands and thousands of motorcycles show up and basically the main drag of DC is 'thundering'.

This Marine thought it fitting to both salute those who were honoring the fallen and also honor them in his own way.

Take into account that the uniform is very hot, is tight around your throat and he is standing on asphalt and it is a fairly tough thing to do for as long as he did.

When he lowers his head it is to keep himself from crying. I was always instructed to do the same when I was in because it isn't proper to show such emotion in uniform.

At one point he seems to yell, but is actually shouting 'ooh rah!' a sort of cheer that the USMC does.

Inspirational.

Wow.......

The tears rolling down the soldiers face........and the roses at his feet. Beautiful.

God Bless our soldiers. And Thank You.
