GLAA conducts 23rd Annual Wreath Laying at Tomb of the Unknowns

The Gay and Lesbian Activists Alliance of Washington, DC (GLAA) will celebrate Memorial Day, Monday, May 27 with our 23rd annual wreath laying at the Tomb of the Unknowns in Arlington National Cemetery at 3:05 p.m. This solemn military ceremony honors all servicemembers who have given their lives in defense of America, including but not limited to the many thousands of gay and lesbian servicemembers who have done so. The ceremony has been conducted every year since 1980 by GLAA and coordinated by Dr. Frank Kameny, a GLAA founder, community leader and World War II combat veteran. Attendance at the ceremony is free and open to everyone.
