Saturday, December 16, 2023~ National Wreaths Across America Day...........Coming together to REMEMBER the fallen, HONOR those who serve, and TEACH the next generation the value of freedom!
A touching and emotional ceremony was held at noon, at the Salem Museum garden, followed by laying of wreaths, in East Hill Cemetery and East Hill North Cemetery. What a sight to see a multitude of individuals' groups/dignitaries/veterans/families come out to show support for the 156 veterans that were honored.
*** Expressions of Appreciation, the ceremony, and honored guests are included in the program.
The December weather was PERFECT! This was a first time event for Ft Lewis DAR Chapter Members, and a successful endeavour. AND the event was yet another #NewToMeAt75 outing!
Enjoy the photos and apologies in advance for a trigger happy thumb and too many photos!
