The Wizards Were Rolling Thunder in DC

Every Memorial Day weekend, Washington, D.C., is treated to a motorcycle motorcade of some of the most badass Americans to ever live. The bikers ride into the nation’s capital to honor Americans who fought in the Vietnam War, and were either captured and held as Prisoners of War (POWs) or went Missing in Action (MIA). It’s a unique and symbolic way to recognize those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for their country, through the bravado of thousands of bikers clad in outfits straight out of “Sons of Anarchy” descending upon the District. The Wizards and Thunder played a basketball game on Monday and by no means is this meant to compare the two worlds, but the swagger and confidence of this basketball team has bandwagoners coming from far and wide to get in on whatever’s brewing in D.
