As Americans around the country pause on Monday, May 26, to remember those who have been lost in war, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund invites you to join us for a special commemoration at The Wall at 1 p.m.

The annual Memorial Day Ceremony at The Wall will feature keynote speaker Gen. George W. Casey Jr., who currently serves as the Army Chief
of Staff. His father died during the Vietnam War and is remembered on Panel 9W, Row 126 of The Wall.

Also speaking will be Army Capt. David Moses, one of the "Lost Boys of Sudan," who has since become a U.S. citizen and has served his new
country with two tours in Iraq.

Army Maj. Gen. Carla Hawley-Boland, who took command of Walter Reed Army Medical Center last December, will also offer remarks.

Also during this ceremony, the four names that were added to The Wall earlier this month will be read by their family members.
