The Rolling To Remember Motorcycle Ride is alive and well. This from thegatewaypundit.com.
According to Joe Chenelly, the national executive director of AMVETS, they are now expecting “100,000 bikes” at the event.
Speaking exclusively to Breitbart News, Joe Chenelly, the national executive director of AMVETS, said that Muriel Bowser, the mayor of the District of Columbia, granted the group permission to stage at Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium.
“We’ve built out a very robust plan, great infrastructure, so Sunday morning we will be staging at RFK stadium,” Chenelly said, noting that the event is now “expecting 100,000 bikes.”
In early May, Joe Biden’s Pentagon rejected a permit for Rolling to Remember — which threatened to stop the event.

The event is now on and expected to draw an enormous crowd.
Chenelly said that the Pentagon’s rejection backfired – more bikers are now expected to attend than before.
Memorial Day is typically a time for celebrating our freedoms together with family and friends, enjoying the outdoors and seeking rest and relaxation. So in that sense extending the words “Happy Memorial Day” is appropriate.
However many believe the greeting is inappropriate and that the holiday should be a somber reminder of those who sacrificed their lives for our freedom. In this sense Best Wishes and May God Bless us everyone.
On this Memorial Day may you and yours find a proper mix of somber reflection and enjoyment of the freedoms our dearly departed sacrificed to secure for us. Also, those who pray please do so and those who choose to take comfort in deep thought please do so. Our nation is now facing a number of uncertain challenges and our thoughts and prayers and concerns may very well go a long way toward the possible struggle ahead.
