Wreaths Across America - 2014

Today was the laying of the wreaths for Wreaths Across America. A program that aims to place a Christmas wreath on the graves at all of the National and State Veterans cemeteries in the world.

They got my truck loaded with about 60 wreaths.  I had to leave the truck there and walk about 1/2 mile to the assembly area for the ceremony.

The ceremony was a very moving experience and there were quite a few people that came out to help lay the wreaths.

After getting back to my truck, I met with a team from Marshall High School ROTC at one of the sections in the cemetery. 

They unloaded the truck and placed the wreaths on the graves.

There was one lady with a child that placed wreaths on the graves of their love ones. 

It was quite a day and one that everyone should experience.  WWW.WreathsacrossAmerica.com will give you a cemetery close to you where you can go next December.  It will also tell you how to order wreaths and how to specify the grave by name.
