US-WAR-RALLY-ROLLING THUNDER
War veteran of World War II, Korea and Vietnam, Elton Ensor (L), 82, meets Staff Sgt. Kevin McKim of Fort Brag, N.C., who's been deployed in Iraq, as they exchange war stories at a karaoke bar in Fort Washington, in Washington, DC, 27 May 2007. The two are among thousands of bikers and non-riders participating in the 2007 edition of the "Rolling Thunder" annual bike rally which this year marks the 20th anniversary of the event staged during the Memorial Day weekend as a sign of support to the United States Armed Forces and its soldiers. Rolling Thunder began 20 years ago to draw attention to US troops missing in action in Vietnam, some of whom they say may still be alive or whose remains need to be returned to their families.
