Time of Remembrance

A TIME OF REMEMBRANCE

 

What is the purpose of "A Time of Remembrance"?

 

The purpose of our tribute is to bring together families of America's fallen in Iraq and Afghanistan and to acknowledge the sacrifice they have made. Families will be brought together from across the country. This tribute, held on the grounds of the Washington Monument, honors those who have died in service to their country and the families they left behind.
