MMD 2019
Hanging of the ribbons for MMD 2019 was unique because for the first time the ribbons were funded 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 Day Foundation is so very grateful for the assistance and looks forward to many more years working together.

For the second year were fortunate to have K9 Caring Angels therapy join us over the weekend. Different from the animals, one handler therapy dogs as "its'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 Day Foundation is so appreciative to K9 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 the service members who have died in-theater since 9/11. #mindful
