Days of Remembrance Ceremony- 19 Apr 01
On the 19 of April 2001, The US Holocaust Museum in Washington DC presented a Days of Remembrance Ceremony in the Rotunda of The US Capitol Building.  A number of 63rd Infantry Division veterans and their families were invited to attend in that this would be the first time that the Holocaust Museum would officially display the 63rd Infantry Division Flag designating our division as one of the thirty-four (34) US Army divisions that liberated concentration camps during World War II.

The following photos were taken during the ceremony by your webmaster.  For some reason our flag didn't cooperate and decided to remain furled for most of the day.  But I did manage to get a few photos and they appear below.
