Thanks to our northern neighbors

Sunday was the Rolling Thunder parade, which takes place every Memorial Day weekend. Thousands of motorcyclists from around the country ride in the nation’s capital, continuing their 30-year tradition to make sure that the nation’s fallen haven’t been forgotten.

Several people have commented about the wet streets but said it was good it wasn’t raining. Well, the truth is, it was pouring much of the time we were there, and we spent a lot of it under a tree. I didn’t care about me getting soaked, but my camera was another matter. I’m surprised it still works after that ;-).

Canadians are of course your reliable neighbours, and have stood shoulder to shoulder with American comrades in many a conflict...delighted you caught this pair joining in the tribute to the fallen..
