Today is a time to remember fallen soliders. I would like to take the time to pay my respects to a close friend Anthony J. White, who was killed March 25, 2007 in Baqubah, Iraq, when an improvised explosive device detonated near his vehicle during combat operations.  Being in the Washington DC area there are many events going on to celebrate the holiday weekend. A few suggestions would be to visit the monuments to honor those who have passed, National Memorial Day Prade (Constitution Ave & 7th St NW to 17th St),  Ceremony & Concert at Arlington National Cemetery, Festival in Vienna, VA, Annual Memorial Day Jazz Festival at Fort Ward Park, Alexandria, VA, or just enjoy the cookouts! Be Safe and have a good one.

Tonight will be The Phillips Collection's Annual Gala at Phillips Collection located 1600 21st Street NW Washington, DC 20009 (Nearby Metro Stop: Dupont Circle). There will be art-inspired cocktails and a seated dinner in the museum galleries. There will be an after party with dancing and dessert in the grand ballroom and gardens at the nearby Anderson House (2118 Massachusetts Avenue NW). All proceeds will benefit the Phillips' educational programs that serve 90,000 students, teachers, and families each year. 

Fifty-five years after Brown v. Board of Education, the goal of education equality is a far away
dream for too many children. On May 16 from 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM, thousands will gather at the White House Ellipse for a National Call to Action: Close the Gap
