| Dear Friends,
For the last three years it has been my privilege to lead a motorcycle procession from my home in Boise, Idaho to the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial in Washington, D.C. The Ride To The Wall raises awareness of the plight of needy and disabled veterans, POWs and MIAs, as well as honoring all veterans who have served in the defense of freedom. It has been a pleasure meeting all you fine folks as we stopped to talk with veteran's organizations and concerned Americans in cities and small towns all across the country. Our ride ends in the nation's capital where we join the annual Rolling Thunder Memorial Day weekend observance honoring Vietnam veterans and calling for a complete accounting of all American POWs and MIAs. |

| Regretfully, an extremely busy and conflicting performance schedule prevents me from making the cross country ride this year, but we will be in Washington, D.C. this Memorial Day weekend for the Rolling Thunder XVII. We will be taking part in the ceremonies on Friday and Saturday and the highlight of our musical year happens on Sunday afternoon.
If you have attended the last three Rolling Thunder demonstrations you know that Paul Revere and The Raiders have performed our musical tribute to America's veterans in the shadow of Lincoln's Memorial. It will again be our honor to perform a free outdoor concert for veterans, their families and friends. There will be special guests joining us and great music from the 60's and 70's. this year, due to renovations to the Lincoln Memorial, the Rolling Thunder stage will be set up in the field on the corner of Ohio Drive and Independence Avenue, across from the Korean War Memorial. Please Come. Everyone is welcome. I'm already planning the Ride To The Wall 2005 and I hope you will tell America's veterans you care by joining us this year at Rolling Thunder XVII. See you in Washington, D.C. Sincerely, Paul Revere |
