On a beautiful sunny day Arthur T. Foss was laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetery.

in August 1999, Art became a Charter Member and the President of Rolling Thunder® Virginia Chapter 3.

Art was dedicated to Never Forgetting the POW/MIAs and an advocate for the needs of today's military veterans and their families.

He diligently served as the Senior State Director for Rolling Thunder® Inc. and was instrumental in starting additional Chapters in Virginia and Maryland. Art was committed to bringing government awareness to our POW/MIAs and to educate the children and the public on the need to support our veterans. Under Art's straight-forward, no-nonsense leadership of Rolling Thunder® VA Chapter 3 it raised funds and sponsored several veterans' events such as a Father's Day Cookout at McGuire VA Hospital in Richmond; Thanksgiving and Christmas food baskets for active duty military families; and "The Ride Home," which is a special weekend to honor all former Prisoners of War and remember those still Missing in Action. Although he had a gruff-look and a no-nonsense approach to life, Art will be remembered most for his compassionate understanding of fellow veterans; care for his brothers and sisters of Rolling Thunder®; and his strong love for family.

Art Foss was proud of his 27 year career in the U.S. Army, which included two tours of duty in Vietnam. Even after he retired from the Army, Art wanted to continue to serve the military families.
