Wreaths Across America Day

Today's is the "Wreaths Across America" day for Veterans cemeteries across the country. As part of a Civil Air Patrol program, I'm hosting a wreath laying ceremony at 12Noon today to honor our veterans at 1 of 2 VA Veterans Cemeteries (Amelia). Arlington of course is the big event where Worcester Wreaths will be laid at each veteran headstone. It's beautiful. At the rest of the cemeteries, we will be laying 6 wreaths, 1 for each branch of service and 1 for MIA's.

This happens at 12 Noon EST all across the country. Even if you can't get to one, will you join us at 12 Noon EST sharp for 60 seconds of silence wherever you're at?

Here's a link to the website for Wreaths Across America. There's a nice video there of the Arlington ceremony.
