Memorial Day is a day of remembrance for those who have died serving our country. The Memorial Day weekend also marks the unofficial beginning of the summer season. This year’s events — held May 24 through May 26 — were punctuated by near-perfect weather. View our photographs of events that are uniquely D.C., such as the Memorial Day Concert on the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol, the massive Rolling Thunder XXVII motorcycle rally through the city streets, wreath layings at our military memorials, climaxing with the National Memorial Day Parade along Constitution Ave. (Photos by Jeff Malet)
- The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall, dedicated to honoring those who died in the Vietnam War is now also a place of healing for those affected by one of the most divisive wars in our nation’s history. | Jeff Malet
