Memorial Day Service, May 31, 2004 • On the Mall

 

Founder Ann Bennett Mix takes the podium at the most
important venue of the conference.

 

Annie reminds us of all the efforts – hours, months, and years
it took to bring us to this moment.

 

Annie's is the first candle to be lit . . .

 

. . . which then lights the candles of Mike Kindig and AWON Board
President Patricia Gaffney Kindig.

 

Terry Boettcher and other Board members distribute the flame.

 

AWON candles light up the Mall for our Fathers and Grandfathers.

 

Emotions run high as we consider the significance of the moment.

 

Photo three above of Annie is thanks to Maggie Malone. Photos four and five
are thanks to Doni Morrison Troglio, and the rest are Rik's.
