8/25/14 - The Greater Brighton Area Chamber of Commerce gathered with Rolling Thunder Chapter 5 Saturday to support the group in an endeavor of remembrance. Rolling Thunder Chapter 5 held a flag raising ceremony to acknowledge Prisoners of War and service members who are still Missing in Action. Chairman of the board for Rolling Thunder Chapter 5, Duane OâParka, tells WHMI the POW/MIA flag is symbolic of those fallen. Rolling Thunder Chapter 5 not only raises awareness for POW and those MIA, but also works with veterans. The group visits the Veteranâs Administration hospital in Ann Arbor as well as the homeless shelter in Detroit. OâParka says the only requirement for members of Rolling Thunder is the desire to support the cause and involve the community. The ceremony was underlined by a moment of silence for those who have yet to come home. (DK)
