We had a great turnout in DC for our wreath laying....68 people formed up by the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. As we walked to the Wall an additional 5 or 6 from the Navy and 9th ID joined us. 

The MRFA wreath was placed at Panel 48W by Dave Schoenian (C Co. 4/47th) and Captain Bill Patterson (RivRon-13) and a prayer was shared by Chuck Elder (C Co. 2/47).  The 9th Infantry Division wreath was placed at Panel 11W by Jim Lown (B Co. 2/47) and Walt "Ski" Romanowski (2/60th) and a prayer was shared by BG Douglas Smith (CO 2/47).

Below are some photos taken by Walt Romanowski.  I also took a number of the photos

"War drew us from our homeland in the
sunlit springtime of our youth. 
Those who did not come back alive 
remain in perpetual springtime -- forever young --
and a part of them is with us always."
