The Military Order of the World Wars (MOWW) hosts an annual memorial service that is held at the gravesite of General of the Armies John J. “Black Jack” Pershing in Arlington National Cemetery.  General Pershing was critical in the forming of the Order and we honor him each year on Veterans Day along with military attaches from among the 18 allied nations that served with us in World War I and members of the Young Marines, and “Pershing’s Own” Band. MG Michael S. Linnington, Commander of the Military District of Washington, will be our guest speaker at this year’s ceremony.

I prepared an article on last year’s eventthat was published in the Officer Review magazine, which is the official publication of the MOWW.  The Veterans of the Battle of the Bulge organization was represented at the Pershing Memorial Service. Following are a couple of photos from that event.
