The Rolling to Remember motorcycle rally in May raises awareness of veterans’ issues.

Claim
U.S. President Joe Biden has ended a 30-year tradition on Memorial Day weekend, called Rolling to Remember, which is a motorcycle parade for veterans.

A veterans’ motorcycle rally will not take place at the Pentagon on May 30, 2021, because the Pentagon denied a parking permit request from organizers of the Rolling to Remember rally due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Staging the rally there has been part of a 32-year tradition.
What’s False

The Pentagon only denied organizers a permit to stage their rallying point on their premises. The rally has not been canceled by Biden. It will be relocated elsewhere in Washington, D.C. This tradition may resume next year, pending pandemic restrictions.
