Rolling to Remember brings D.C. street closures on Memorial Day weekend

[Shades]

D.C. police announced several street closures for this weekend's Rolling to Remember ride, as thousands of motorcycles will be in the nation's capital for the annual event to honor those killed in war and missing in action as well as to bring awareness to issues affecting veterans.

Organizers say participants will gather in a parking lot at RFK Stadium at 7 a.m. Sunday. The demonstration begins at noon, with motorcycles leaving RFK, then circling much of the National Mall before exiting the District via the 14th Street Bridge.

The event replaced the Rolling Thunder motorcycle rally that had been staged in Washington since 1988.
