Upcoming Ceremony:  Father's Day Rose Remembrance

The ceremony, held on Sunday June 16th, begins in early morning with the Rose Remembrance, an evocative annual tradition at the Wall.  Roses of red, symbolizing those killed in action, yellow, for those missing in action, and white, for those recently fallen in combat, are attached to written remembrances made out to names inscribed on the Wall.  The remembrances are then read aloud, as their corresponding rose is touched against the inscribed name and placed at the base of the Memorial.
