Memorial Day brings a Rolling Thunder

I've seen it and HEARD it many times when I was living on the Hill. So many bikers and so much noise. But I never saw it at the start and I never really knew what it was all about.

Rolling Thunder major purpose is to publicize the POW-MIA issue.  To educate the public of the fact that many American prisoners of war were left behind after all past wars.  To help correct the past and to protect the future veterans from being left behind should they become Prisoners Of War/Missing In Action.   We are committed to helping American veterans from all wars.  Rolling Thunder, Inc. is a non-profit organization and everyone donates his or her time because they believe in the POW/MIA issue. You can find more about Rolling Thunder at http://www.rollingthunder1.com/index.html.

It's amazing what they do :)  No I didn't get to see Sarah Palin but I did get to see better people! My friend Rachel and her husband and friends all road...I got to see them all off ;)

Bubba graduates...eventually :)

So this past weekend, Bubba crossed the stage and later this summer he finishes officially!!! Yay Bubba!!! I'm soooo proud of him and his stick-to-it attitude :)  Here are some pics from the weekend and I hope I'm not in too much trouble for posting :)

It was an EXTREMELY bright day so I played a lot with how much light I was letting in.  Clearly I need more practice :)  A lot of the pics came out overexposed when we were outside so I touched them up in lightroom. And a lot of them were underexposed in the civic center so I played with those too.  Lightroom was my savior this weekend :)

Love a good pattern of repeated items. Here we have the graduates seats and their programs.
