MARTIN (December 14) – Locally, volunteers supporting Wreaths Across America at Eastside Cemetery in Martin have been working hard to ensure that as many of the more than 600 service members buried there will indeed be honored again this year with the placement of live, balsam veterans’ wreaths as part of National Wreaths Across America Day 2020, which is Saturday, December 19. With the help of local businesses, organizations, and individuals, more than 260 veterans will be honored. This is approximately 90 more than last year, according to Linda Smith, Location Coordinator for Martin.
