AMERICAN VETERANS TRAVELING TRIBUTE WARREN, PA ~ JUNE 19-22, 2003 |
I was in Warren, PA for the American Veterans Traveling Tribute (The Wall) and this was a tribute unlike anything I'd ever seen before. They had "Living Statues" as a tribute to the statue of the 3 Soldiers and the Women's Memorial in Washington D.C. I've been to a lot of ceremonies and events, but this was the most moving thing I'd ever seen. During the weekend, several people presented the "Living Statues" every few hours. These are just a few of the photos from this ceremony and also some graphics done by Mr. McCorrison that are so beautiful I just had to share them with you. If you are a Veteran, I know what these pictures will mean to you... |
This is the living statue tribute to the statue of the 3 Soldiers. I've never seen anything like this done before and it's a true honor to their brothers. |
This is the living statue honoring the women who served in Vietnam. They're our Veterans too! |
My little sister was asked to lay a carnation at the "base" of the living statue. When the soldier reached out and touched Natalie's head, I don't think there was a dry eye in the entire park! |
