Your Sunday Hymn: Hymn To The Fallen

In honor of the soldiers who give us the freedoms we have today:

On May 23, for the first time, The Washington DC National Cathedral hosted Rolling Thunder, for a blessing of the bikes.

The  Rolling Thunder Ride for Freedom are the thousands of bikers who roll in to DC every year to honor and remember  “our brothers and sisters who gave their lives for the freedom we enjoy every day and for the full accounting of all POWs-MIAs and veterans’ rights.” , organizers expect roughly 800,000 over the weekend.
