This year, our 34th, all Rolling Thunder® Florida Chapters have partnered with The American Legion, and will be hosting the event at the International Speedway in Daytona. Please click on the Heroes Honor button above for more information.
Heroes Honor Festival is an organization that's been promoting this event in Daytona international Speedway for almost two years. They have a great lineup of speakers including our Governor, Colonel Oliver North, and music including Toby Keith as the headline band. At this point, the remaining members of Creedence Clearwater Revival are also booked, with hopes of Dolly Parton and possibly Willie Nelson. Camping in the infield is allowed for three nights. Vietnam Veterans get in free. Veterans are half price for the show.
The Candlelight Vigil on Friday night will invite all Gold Star Families to follow the procession in front of the Rolling Vietnam Wall, just as in Washington DC. Military aircraft fly-overs, patriotic tributes, great guest speakers and music on Saturday in the infield is planned. Sunday, the second annual Ride for Freedom Florida leaves the racetrack through Daytona area to a local Harley Davidson dealership.
Registration on-site at 8AM, Kick Stands Up at 11AM, the day before Memorial Day. We look forward to seeing you there.
Interested in joining the largest Rolling Thunder Chapter in Florida? You do not need to be a Veteran, nor ride a Harley. You just wish to see our missing in action returned, and be a member of this nonprofit organization with a $40 annual fee. We meet the fourth Sunday of each month at 2PM at the Veterans Memorial Center behind the Merritt Square Mall. We are accomplishing so much with flag risings at schools, Veteran funeral escorts, helping Veterans and scholarships to area schools, just to name a few.
See you there!
Thank you for supporting this cause.
