A Wreath-Laying Ceremony at the Casimir Pulaski Monument in Freedom Plaza, Pennsylvania Ave. at 13th Street NW, Washington DC.

The ceremony was held later than the weekend of May 3rd to coincide with the presence in Washington of the PAC Council of National Directors for their semi-annual meeting. A delegation of National Directors was present at the ceremony.

Despite the rainy weather, the turnout was good, and everyone enjoyed the proceedings.
