The first Rolling Thunder®, Inc demonstration in 1988 was the byproduct of two Vietnam veterans who felt that not enough attention had been given to the POW/MIA’s who did not escape the war with their lives or their freedoms. Vets Artie Muller and Ray Manzo, felt that government and mainstream press had ignored intelligence reports citing that more than 10,000 Americans had still been living as Prisoners of War or classified as Missing in Action.

After expressing their concern to fellow vets, family and friends, roughly 2,500 motorcyclists converged on Washington, DC on Memorial Day weekend. That first year’s arrival would be announced by the thunderous roar of their motorcycles, a sound reminiscent of the 1965 bombing campaign against North Vietnam know as Operation Rolling Thunder. Hence, the name of Rolling Thunder ®, Inc was born.

Now one of the largest, most meaningful gatherings of motorcycle enthusiasts in the U.S, Rolling Thunder boasts an attendance of about 500,000. Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorneys® has been a major sponsor of the Rolling Thunder®, Inc for the past 5 years and is grateful to be the only attorneys to have a sponsor booth in the heart of the Pentagon parking lot.
