Memorial Day • May 31, 2010
AWON Dads & Loved Ones Honored
in Parade down Constitution Avenue!
The parade down Constitution Avenue . . .
. . . culminates in a celebration at the World War II Memorial.
Awon and the Spirit of '45 joined forces to form a strong presence at the
Memorial Day events in Washington this year. AWONers and the Spirit of '45
volunteers carried photos of some of our fathers in the Memorial Day Parade
and then placed them around the World War II Memorial.
Our Fathers and loved ones were honored by volunteers in front of the Wall of Honor,
where each gold star represents 100 of our precious fallen.
