Wreaths Across America events this weekend

Each December on National Wreaths Across America Day, with a mission to Remember, Honor and Teach, Wreaths Across America coordinates wreathlaying ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery, as well as at more than 2,100 additional locations in all 5o U.S. states, at sea and abroad.

Those ceremonies will take place Saturday, December 19 at the Elwood Cemetery at 11 a.m., at Cambridge’s Fairview Cemetery at 11 a.m. and at Mount Hope Cemetery outside Beaver City at 1 p.m.

While we have Veterans Day in the fall and Memorial Day in the spring, our servicemen and women sacrifice their time and safety every single day of the year, to preserve our freedoms. And in many homes across the U.S., every day there is an empty seat for one who is serving, or one who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. That is why our mission to Remember, Honor and Teach lasts all year long, far beyond the single day in December when we coordinate wreath-laying ceremonies. All throughout the year, Wreaths Across America works in a number of ways to show our veterans and their families that we will not forget-we will never forget.
