Chicago RPCV Conference The second city proved it is second to none in putting on an unforgettable event for the NPCA's 2006 Returned Volunteer Conference. Read what RPCV Chris Matthews of MSNBC's Hardball had to say about his service in Swaziland and what Nobel laureate and Landmine Activist Bobby Mueller had to say about US Mideast policy. Read our coverage of the closing ceremony, the opening ceremony, our photo essay of the Flag Procession, our collection of over five hundred photos from the procession, and what VOA said about the conference. Great job, Capca! |
The Peace Corps Flag Procession
The Flag Procession begins...
...against the backdrop of the Chicago skyline.
Volunteers walk up Lakeshore Drive...
...along the eastern edge of Grant Park...
...and make the turn to approach Buckingham Fountain from the South.
Volunteers listen to words of remembrance...
...for the Peace Corps Fallen....
...then gather on the steps...
...for a group photo...
...before starting back for the closing ceremony...
at the Art Institute of Chicago.
