Background:
Wreaths Across America is carried out through coordinated wreath-laying ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery and over 1,100 locations in all 50 US states, including the Bath National Cemetery. The mission is to Remember, Honor and Teach about area service men and women who have given the ultimate sacrifice — their lives — to keep our country free and safe. It is an event that helps us to never forget that the freedoms we enjoy came at such a great cost. The national web site is www.WreathsAcrossAmerica.org.
