This is a very special ceremony to remember the fallen, honor those who serve, and teach our children the value of freedom. The ceremony will involve the placement of seven ceremonial wreaths near the Veterans’ Memorial Markers in the cemetery. Each wreath represents 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.
The public is welcome to purchase individual wreaths for their loved ones who served our country. After the ceremony, they may place these wreaths on local graves.
The deadline for ordering the wreaths is Monday, November 28, 2011. Wreaths may be ordered from the Wreaths Across America organization for $15 each:
online at:
