TACP memorial dedicated
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Family members of the fallen Airmen rub wax onto strips of paper after the ceremony, creating impressions of their loved ones’ names to be taken home with them. “Stone rubbing” is a tradition that was made popular in the early 1980s by visitor to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., and has carried on since.
