A few years ago when I was stationed in the DC area, I had the opportunity to attend the “Time of Remembrance” ceremony near the White House at the National Mall.
The purpose of the tribute is to bring together the families of America’s fallen in Iraq and Afghanistan and to acknowledge the sacrifice they have made. Families were 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.
