Ken said it all on the Home Page
if anyone has any questions or suggestions please contact me.
I will drive down to the WALL and post a more exact location to meet.
The park service has been doing some work on the Mall and has moved some things around.

Holes are all filled and new sod is down. I 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.
If you have a bike they let you park on the grass (first come first serve).

Update on Wreath Laying
I only had one guy (Greg Kitchen) contacted me to participate in the Wreath Laying. Greg was running late so I placed the wreath with a buddy of mine who was a chopper pilot. The Park Service had moved the stage down to the area where we normally placed the wreaths. The Park Service told me to place the wreath off to the left with the others (2/27 Inf. Wolfhounds,1st Cav, etc.). The public wreaths were all picked up on Monday (Memorial Day) by 7 AM. The Vietnam Memorial was closed to the public all day (Monday) Memorial Day. The Park Service says it was Obama’s people, Obama’s people say it was the Secret Service. The point is we put the wreaths down on Friday and they were picked up Monday morning. |

What outrageous arrogance!
This was the first I heard of the closure. Thanks media!
The Park Service website says the Vietnam Veterans Memorial is open 24 hours a day.
To close it for any period, for any reason, especially on Memorial Day, boggles the mind.
No matter who made the decision (I'd guess the Secret Service), it is definitely one of those times when it is obvious where the buck stops.
Shame on President Obama. He owes a personal apology to everyone who was kept behind the barriers. |
