I have been doing this for a number of years now:
Saturday (05/28/05) morning at 0845, my wife and I will meet others from both the 1st Cavalry Division Assn, NW Chapter and Chapter XVI SFA at the rear of the Admin bldg. on the grounds of the Washington Memorial Cemetery, SEATAC, Washington. We will draw a map(s), flags and a poker tool(s). Our sector map of the cemetery, will show where we will place flags on the graves of the listed Veterans. We will place the flags on the graves. This usually is finished by Noon.
On Monday, 05/30/05 at 1500 hours, I will along with others from the NW Chapter of the 1st Cavalry Div, Assn. take part in the ceremony at the Washingtom Memorial cemetery's Memorial Day ceremony. We will place a 1st Cavalry wreath at the monument devoted to our POW/MIAs, where the ceremony takes place. The guest speaker, is a veteran of Vietnam and Iraq war. (1st Cav Ranger Co. in Vietnam and WA NG in Iraq.)
In past times, my wife and I along with others have attended the Ceremony at the Tahoma National cemetery in Maple Valley, WA. in between the above activities. This year; however, this year the schedule at Tahoma conflicts with the others.
The Ceremony at Tahoma starts at 1130 hours the Music starts playing. The main ceremony starts at Noon and will last for two hours.
Please note: Any AD or Veterans or wives who wish to join us at these ceremonies are most welcome to.
