Mount Rest Cemetery Hosts Wreaths Across America

The weather did not hamper the enthusiasm of the volunteers that came out to place remembrance wreaths on 68 identified Veterans at Mount Rest Cemetery in Wadsworth. As the 11 a.m. hour approached and the many volunteers assembled, a brief speech was given about Wreaths Across America (WAA). Each volunteer received instructions on how to lay the wreaths and what to say. There were many children in attendance, and it was nice to hear the parents explain why we honor Veterans. Wreaths Across America’s mission is to Remember, Honor and Teach.
