WREATHS ACROSS AMERICA at Ft Bayard National Cemetery

A beautiful remembrance for our local deceased veterans will be provided this Saturday when 4536 wreaths with bright red bows can be viewed on every marker at Fort Bayard National Cemetery.

Over 500 individuals, organizations, families, and businesses have sponsored these fresh green balsam wreaths shipped directly from Maine. The wreaths will be placed on Friday the 13th with special requests being honored first at 2 pm. The remaining wreaths will be placed at 3 pm.

The Wreaths Across America Remembrance Ceremony will begin at 10:00 a.m. sharp on December 14. The program’s speaker will be John Sterle with music provided by the Hi Lo Silvers. All are invited to attend. This morning ceremony will provide a meaningful and lovely way to remember our veterans during the Christmas holiday season.
