Wreaths Across America to honor the fallen

VERNON — Each year, millions of Americans come together to remember the fallen, honor those that serve and their families, and TEACH the next generation about the value of freedom. This gathering of individuals and communities takes place in local and national cemeteries in all 50 states as part of National Wreaths Across America Day. Each year, a new theme is chosen to help supporters focus their messaging and outreach in their own communities. Today, the national nonprofit announces the theme for 2018 is “Be their witness.”
Through the Wreaths Across America program, we are ensuring that the lives of our men and women in uniform are remembered, not their deaths. It is our responsibility as Americans, to be their witness and to share their stories of service and sacrifice with the next generation. The millions of volunteers who devote so much of themselves to raise awareness for the mission to Remember, Honor, Teach, in their own communities utilize the annual theme when planning local events and activities in preparation for National Wreaths Across America Day, which will take place this year on Saturday, Dec. 15.
This year on Saturday, Dec. 15, at 10 a.m. will be the fifth anniversary for Wreaths Across America at the Glenwood Cemetery in Vernon Township, Nearly 200 veterans are interred at this location. All are welcome to come to the ceremony and participate in laying a wreath.
