Wreaths Across America

Hundreds of volunteers came out in the cold today at Arlington National Cemetery to lay wreaths at the graves of those who served in our armed services.

It was an opportunity to visit the graves of those who served honorably, many whose grave may not be visited on any other day of the year.  Over 24,000 donated wreaths were placed on graves in Sections 28, 38, 43, and 60 of the cemetery.  Communities across the nation participate, and if you are looking to participate next year check out Wreaths Across America.
