Veterans, families and visitors headed to the National Mall to honor military members during the 38th annual
#RollingtoRemember, a demonstration ride demanding full accounting for America’s POWs and MIAs and to raise awareness of the mental health crisis stealing thousands of veterans’ lives each year.
Rolling to Remember is more than just a ride through the nation’s capital. For many, it’s an emotional journey that ends at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, where thousands of names etched in black granite serve as a reminder of those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.
"I got drafted at 19, and I was discharged by 21," Peter Mack said. "It was the luck of the cards; either you made it or didn't make it in the infantry, as I was in the 9th Infantry Division."
Mack said he has come every year for the last 15 years or so — "to come pay my respects for Memorial Day," he said.
