‘Rolling Thunder’ Reminds All of Our POW/MIAs

Chuck and Chip Kettler of Westlake’s Discount Drug Mart

Rolling Thunder is a national organization comprised of motorcycle enthusiasts committed to publicize POW/MIA issues and to keep these veterans alive in our hearts and minds.

Chip and Chuck Kettler recently brought the movement to the Westlake Discount Drug Mart, where Chip is well-known its veteran store manager and friend to the community. He joined with his dad Labor Day weekend to host a cookout and raffles of gift boxes while raising awareness and support for Rolling Thunder.

Rolling Thunder, founded in 1987, contributes hundreds of thousands of dollars annually in supporting veterans financially, with food, clothing and other essentials. Their efforts are all donated on a volunteer basis. Funds are used for veterans, active military and their families who are in need of help. Essentials are made available to veterans and veteran families in need, homeless veterans, women’s crisis centers and toys for children.

Rolling Thunder has successfully advocated to numerous legislations passed in support of veterans.
