The mission of the Wreaths Across America project is simple: Remember, Honor, Teach.
It has been fulfilled every year since 1992, and one the organization looks to this weekend as it coordinates December wreath-laying ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery as well as thousands of veterans’ cemeteries and other locations across the country.
That work is carried out by volunteers whose efforts ensure that the graves of service members again will be honored with the placement of live, balsam veteran’s wreaths. More than 2,100 locations are scheduled to participate in this year’s ceremonies, which will be held Saturday.
Services have been planned for many cemeteries throughout the Tri-State Area, each of which will be part of a bigger effort that seeks to remember the men and women who have served and sacrificed from the Revolutionary War to our present conflicts.
