Honoring Heroes at Wreaths Across America

December 15, 2024 by Andi Schwartz

On December 14th, our unit had the privilege of participating in the 12th annual Wreaths Across America event at Evergreen Memorial Gardens Cemetery, Funeral Chapel, and Crematory. Together, we laid 1,260 wreaths to honor and remember those who served, including a special tribute to our former Adult Volunteer, Gunny Hudson. We extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who donated a wreath to make this meaningful event possible. Stay tuned for details on next year’s wreath sales to continue this tradition of remembrance.
