Rolling Thunder to visit Woodside Village

By Eve­lyn Long -

Wood­side Vil­lage Care Cen­ter will host a visit by Rolling Thun­der on Sat­ur­day, Octo­ber 6, when the cycle rid­ers will make sev­eral pre­sen­ta­tions related to the group’s major focus, the MIA/POW issue.

They will set up for their pro­gram at 10 am and will make their pre­sen­ta­tions at 2 pm. This will include a sec­tion of their Viet Nam wall. Paul Cline, chair­man of the Memo­r­ial Com­mit­tee with Ohio Chap­ter 5 of Rolling Thun­der, said they will focus their pre­sen­ta­tions on the POW/MIA issue and these will include a bam­boo cage and they will sim­u­late a res­cue of pris­on­ers and another will be of a pris­oner who “went over the wall.” Cline said the wall will con­tain the names of 137 men from Ohio listed as miss­ing in action. Fam­i­lies are invited to visit the wall. There will also be a flag fold­ing presentation.

Also host­ing the event will be Hos­pice of Mor­row County and the Mor­row County Vet­er­ans Com­mis­sion who will rec­og­nize the Viet Nam vet­er­ans in addi­tion to vet­er­ans of all wars.

Cline said their con­cept is all about the POW-MIA, not only those in the Viet­nam War but those who remain miss­ing in all wars.

Rolling Thun­der, Inc., is a non-profit orga­ni­za­tion and every­one donates his or her time because they believe in the POW –MIA issue.
