Today, as they have done since 1949, members of the AHEPA family from throughout the Washington DC metro-area will gather to memorialize those identified as Greek Americans or Greek Orthodox who are buried at Arlington National Cemetery.
According to organizers, there are roughly 660 grave sites at which AHEPA and Daughters of Penelope members presented a laurel wreath and paused in remembrance of those who perished for our nation.
This ceremony has been performed annually since 1949.
