Wreaths Across America
Wreaths Across America Remembering The Fallen And Honoring
Those who Served
This weekend I attended ceremonies to remember the fallen -
those men and women who served our country. Volunteers took part in services
across our district that involved placing wreaths on individual veterans'
graves.
As a component of the national Wreaths Across America USNA
Day, which now coordinates more than 2,500 events, we assembled to pay our
respects and honor those no longer with us.
Wreaths Across America is a non-profit organization from
Maine that set out in 1992 with a trailer load of wreaths, decorated by
volunteers, to lay at the graves of fallen soldiers at Arlington National
Cemetery.
Over thirty years later their mission - to Remember, Honor,
and Teach, continues to grow.
