Rolling Thunder "Saluting Marine" Retiring from his post.
In a gesture of respect for all service members past and present, Staff Sgt. TIm Chambers (Ret.) has held a 4 hour salute for the duration of the Rolling Thunder demonstration in Washington, D.C. for the last 15 years. This year was unique in that he was joined by his wife.
