Honor our veterans by coordinating wreath-laying ceremonies each December on National Wreaths Across America Day. Teach younger generations about the value of their freedom and the importance of honoring those who sacrificed so much to protect those freedoms.

The official laying of the wreaths on 551 graves by the Allenton American Legion Post will begin at 9 a.m. on Saturday, December 18.
