The graphics on this year’s truck focus on the emotions – faith, hope and despair – of a prisoner of war (POW). The custom design illustrates the comradery and brotherhood of POWs and is also a way to recognize the National League of POW Families. NRV developed the graphics for the Volvo VNL 670 in conjunction with UAW Local 2069’s Veteran Committee.
Volvo Trucks will again ride to the nation’s capital during Memorial Day weekend as part of the Rolling Thunder® - Ride for Freedom rally.
