Memorial Day / Rolling Thunder Wreath Laying at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial
Joe Mahoney will meet with any 196th members who will be in Washington, DC on Friday 5/25/12, at 7:00 PM (1900 hrs) to lay a wreath at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. The 7:00 PM timeframe will enable parking near the Wall, which is restricted between 4-6:30.
The wreath will be placed on Friday, so that Rolling Thunder participants will be able to view it for the entire weekend. (Official placement of wreaths is normally Monday around noon).
(Joe will be behind the little book stand, with panel and line information, at the intersection of the sidewalks at 21st and Constitution and the second sidewalk in. (That is at the end of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial farthest from the Lincoln Memorial)
