Rolling Thunder®, Inc. is NOT a motorcycle club or a veterans organization. We are a group of concerned
citizens working to make people aware of the Prisoners Of War-Missing In Action (POW-MIA) issue.
Dedication
It takes a dedicated person to do what Rolling Thunder®, Inc. does. One must believe in the Mission
Statement and carry out the cause which the Mission Statement describes. You must believe in your heart
that there are POW/MIAs still alive from past wars and believe that one day we will find prisoners alive that
are begin held captive and bring them home where they belong, to be with their families. We must remain
vigilant, too, in our quest to bring home the remains of those that are confirmed KIA or MIA.
