Title:

Wreath Ceremony

Description:

Heads are bowed and hands are crossed during the opening prayer of the Wreath Ceremony held at the base of the new Air Force Memorial in Arlington, Va., Oct. 15, 2006. Secretary of the Air Force Michael W. Wynne officially closed the Air Force Memorial commemoration by leading the wreath laying ceremony. On behalf of all American citizens President George W. Bush accepted the Air Force Memorial from Air Force Memorial Foundation Chairman Ross Perot Jr. during the previous day's dedication ceremony at the base of the Air Force Memorial that overlooks the Pentagon. Designed by the late James Ingo Freed the memorial with its three soaring spires inspired by the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds bomb burst manuever, pays tribute to and honors the patriotic men and women of the U.S. Air Force and its predeccessor organizations. An open house was held near the Pentagon in conjunction with the dedication ceremony which featured performances by the U.S. Air Force Band, the U.S. Air Force Honor Guard drill team, and culminated with a concert featuring country music performer LeeAnn Womack.
