| One of the greatest sights at Rolling Thunder is one Marine, who stands on 23rd Street and holds a salute during the whole run to honor those that served before him. He is one of the greatest Marines that I know and his pride in being a Marine and in serving his country shows in everything that he does!! |
| Me and SSgt. Tim Chambers....you just can't help but love this Marine!!! SSgt. Chambers calls me the Motivator, but I really think that he has way more motivation than I do!!! I keep trying to convince SSgt. Chambers to move to Pennsylvania to run for the Senate...he keeps telling me that he can't leave the Marine Corps because he would have nothing to wear!!! If I know SSgt. Chambers he will never, ever leave the Corps!! I am almost positive that he will become the oldest active duty Marine!!! |
| This is me and Gary Marut!!! He is the father of Spc. Daniel Marut who presented me with his Good Conduct Medal at Rolling Thunder 16!! Daniel is in Iraq, right now and he will be home soon!!! I got word that I will get to see him again next year at Rolling Thunder 19!!! We are proud of Spc. Marut and I can't wait to see him again!! |
| Major Marton was also at Rolling Thunder 16, but in a wheel chair recovering from injuries he received in the hand grenade attack in Kuwait. Major Marton told everyone that he would be back at Rolling Thunder to ride his bike in the run and that is exactly what he did this year!!! |
| Major Marton and one of our great soldiers who came to Rolling Thunder from Walter Reed Hospital!! |
