Mindful Memorial Day 2019
Hanging of the ribbons for MMD 2019 was unique because for the first time the ribbons were funded by and
assembled with a new partner! Additionally, most ribbons were assembled off- site before the hanging event.
Over a few planning periods and with the help of students, faculty and administration at James Madison HS in Vienna, VA more than 4,000 ribbons were assembled and ready to hang the morning of Sunday, 19 May 2019.
The Mindful Memorial Foundation is so very grateful for the assistance!

For the second year we were fortunate to have the K-9 Caring Angels therapy dogs join us over the weekend.
Different from service animals, one handler explains therapy dogs as "it's their job to be petted".
As expected the dogs were hugely popular...engaging with the public for pats and lap snuggles
and making honor visits to grave sites.
The Mindful Memorial Foundation is so appreciative to K-9 Caring Angels and can't wait to work with you again next year!

For the first time in our 6 years history, we were able to honor 100% of all service members who have died in-theater since 9/11. #mindful
