Wreaths Across America

Last year, we took the kids up to the World War II Memorial in Racine, Wisconsin for a wreath laying ceremony connected with the Wreaths Across America program. If you have not heard of Wreaths Across America, please visit their website at www.wreaths-across-america.org to learn more. In a nutshell, the goal is someday to decorate the grave of every veteran with a wreath (as appropriate). For now, there are many sites where all the graves are decorated (hey Georgians, check out the one in Canton!) and even more where there is a wreath laying ceremony for the whole cemetery. That is what they had in Racine last year - a simple ceremony that was over in about 20 minutes. Other than the ROTC people, we were the only ones who went. This year, there are a couple of ceremonies in our area, so I don't know which one will will attend, but we will go to one.

This year all of the ceremonies are taking pace on December 13 at 12:00 pm Eastern Time. I know December is a busy month, but please consider taking your family to one of these ceremonies. You won't regret it .
