Rolling Thunder®, Inc. is a non-profit organization and everyone donates his or her time because they believe in the POW-MIA issue. Our major function is to educate the public that many American Prisoners of War were left behind and to help correct the past and to protect future veterans from being left behind should they become Prisoners of War or Missing in Action. We are also committed to helping Veterans from all Wars.

women. You DO NOT have to be a veteran or be related to a veteran and you DO NOT have to own or ride motorcycle.

PATCHES.
All members will receive a Rolling Thunder®, Inc. Membership Boot patch (from their Chapter) when they become a full member at the end of a 120-day period. If a member meets his/her obligations before the 120 days are up they are entitled to receive their Boot patch no earlier than 90 days, provided they meet all other (loyalty and conduct) requirements. Any Rolling Thunder®, Inc. member who is a United States Military Veteran is required to provide to their chapter a copy of his/her DD-214 (notice of separation). The DD-214 will be kept on file with the Chapter for the duration of their membership. Any United States military veteran who does not turn over a copy of his/her DD-214 will not be permitted to display any pins or patches on their Rolling Thunder®, Inc. vest or jacket indicating that he/she is a veteran.
A new member must make 3 meetings and 3 events, or a combination thereof, during the 120-day trail period to become a full member. After a member completes his/her first year (from the day they receive their boot patch) as a member in good standing then they will be issued the Eagle & Rocker, which is the property of National.
All new members will give Rolling Thunder®, Inc. their Social Security number as security for their organization (Boot, Eagle & Rocker) patch set and $150.00 deposit for each set of patches. Any member who does not want a set of patches does not have to pay a patch deposit and will be a non-patch holder member. (All deposits will be returned when a member’s patches are returned.)
