Wreaths Across America - Ceremony

Dec 15, 2012 11:00 am

MS Veterans Memorial Cemetery 248 Honor Circle Newton, MS

We will have a ceremony December 15, 2012 for Wreaths Across America, beginning at 11:00.

Wreaths Across America is a non-profit organization dedicated to honoring and thanking our veterans for their service and sacrifice. The Wreaths Across America mission is to “Remember, Honor, and Teach”. The annual wreath laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery started in 1992 is now performed around the country. The Wreaths Across America story began over 15 years ago when Worcester Wreath Company (a for-profit commercial business from Harrington, Maine) began a tradition of placing wreaths on the headstones of our Nation’s fallen heroes at Arlington National Cemetery.

Over the years, Worcester Wreath has donated over 75,000 wreaths which were placed by volunteers in a wreath laying ceremony each December.
