New Page 1 On September 26, 2009, The White House Commission on Remembrance hosted its Fourth Annual Time of Remembrance Ceremony on the West Lawn of the United States Capitol Building. Kevin Bacon, The Joint Chiefs of Staff, Ross Perot, Jeanne Phillips (Dear Abby), and other military officers, elected officials, and special guests, joined about 2,000 Gold Star family members to make this year’s event particularly memorable.
The White House Commission on Remembrance is hard at work preparing a DVD of the ceremony for all of the Gold Star Families who attended. If you were unable to attend the ceremony, or would like to request a copy of the DVD, please email us at Commission@remember.gov.
Photos of the ceremony are available, courtesy of JPG Photo Events, at http://web.me.com/jgoodridge1/Remember-2009/Photos.html and can be downloaded for personal use.
The White House Commission on Remembrance is already working on next year’s ceremony and will be releasing the date as soon as details are confirmed.
