Proud Aussie Vet
G'day All;
I (with my good Lady) was priviledged to be able to take part in 'Rolling Thunder 2009'. It was awesome and I spent the weekend with many US Forces Vets from around Milwaukee. Did the Parade on the FLHTCUI we had rented out of Tampa FL and went on afterwards through Virginia - Smokeys and back to Tampa. Had a great time and enjoyed visiting the Various Monuments and Changing of the Guard at Arlington.
Have a Great RFTW and Rolling Thunder 2010 - Cheers and Hand Salute to all Vets/Ex Service Persons

Last time I was there was in 94 and I took my nephew to a pig roast where he enjoyed an anatomy lesson and learning what bartering with beads is all about. I tried going back in 95 but broke down about 25 miles north of DC.
