eachers from around the country have been in the Washington, D.C. area since yesterday, taking part in the many activities surrounding the Teach Vietnam Teachers Network National Conference, which is being held at American University and is sponsored by the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund. The conference will conclude on Saturday with a remembrance ceremony, being held at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial at 6 p.m. on Saturday, July 19.
During the ceremony, teachers will pay tribute to one person whose name is on The Wall. Sometimes that person is a friend or loved one; other times, it is someone from their community. After all of the tributes have been read, the teachers will leave them at The Wall.
This ceremony will cap three and a half days of activities that include a congressional breakfast, a panel discussion at the Newseum, presentations from fellow teachers and a free concert by country music singer Keni Thomas. All of these events, including the Remembrance Ceremony, are open to the public.
