What EAA President Tom Poberezny called "one of the most important places on the AirVenture grounds," the EAA Memorial Wall was overflowing with family and friends of those who have passed gathered to take part in the annual installation ceremony on Sunday morning.

Under sparkling clear, blue skies, Poberezny put the Memorial Wall's significance into perspective.

"We keep looking skyward, and that's what our loved ones did every summer at Oshkosh," he said to several hundred people in attendance. "We're here to remember them, to give solace to each other. Oshkosh is community, friendships, family and of course, the airplanes."

A missing man formation preceded the reading of 110 names that were installed this year.

"Oshkosh is a special place to all of us," Poberezny said. "I hope this ceremony helps in the healing process,. The pain of losing a loved one never goes away, but we learn to deal with it.

"Memories can never, ever be taken away."

A trumpet duet played Taps before EAA Chaplain Pastor Ed Riddick's benediction message.
