A.A.'s Country-wide News Circuit

Memorial Day Celebration

What may become an annual affair was the observance of Memorial Day by the A.A. Groups of Washington, D.C., at the last open meeting before that date. Colonel F. G., one of the first members in Washington, a veteran of World War I who also saw service with the U.S.A.A.F. in the C.B.I., spoke in memory of deceased members of the group and in particular of two who served in the late war, Lt. Col. H. C. and J. H. M., founder of the Washington Group. On Memorial Day members of A.A. placed a wreath on the grave of the former in Rock Creek Cemetery while a second group went to West River, Anne Arundel County, Md., and left a wreath on the grave of the second in the Christ Church graveyard.
