Yelling and Cheering and Dancing and Tears


Here are a few shots that Aaron took during the closing ceremony. The march in:





The party, aka the reason I had no voice on Monday morning:





The emotions run high as we salute our Survivors:






Raising the flag within the Survivor’s Circle. It reads, “We Will Never Give UP.”




This part of the ceremony always makes me cry. People Walk on to the stage carrying the flags with the names of the loved ones for whom they Walk. Then, one by one, the people themselves come out and join the Walkers. This year I had the presence of mind to grab my phone from my fanny pack and record part of it. Please excuse the quality, it was a phone and not a real video camera, but I was hoping that I could in some small way capture for you the incredible beauty of this emotion filled moment:





What a strong and meaningful way to complete the weekend!
