Our chapter members will be attending a very special ceremony to remember the fallen, honor those who serve, and teach our children the value of freedom. The ceremony will be held at St. Patrick's Cemetery on Route 5. The ceremony will involve the placement of seven ceremonial wreaths near the Veterans’ Memorial Markers in the cemetery. Each wreath will represent a branch of military service--the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, Merchant Marine and POW/MIA service men and women.
We encourage the public to attend this very moving ceremony.
