"I've lost uncles and friends and everything" to combat, says Mike Evangelho of Brick, N.J., making his way across Memorial Bridge at the start of Sunday's Rolling Thunder rally. Although he was unable to serve in the military because of poor eyesight, this is the fifth year he has ridden, and he brought along a friend who served in Vietnam. (Barbara L.
