Wreaths Across America

will place wreaths at the Georgia National Ceremony; a prayer will be offered at 11 a.m. and a short program begins at noon at the assembly area. The speaker is American Legionnaire Jim Lindenmayer, director of the Cherokee County Homeless Veterans. The objectives of the program are to remember our fallen U.S. veterans, honor those who serve, and teach children the value of freedom. Numerous youth groups, scouts, young Marines, Civil Air Patrol, and ROTC assist in unloading and unpacking wreaths and provide support. Wreaths are needed to cover the cemetery, which has more than 15,000 interred. Contributions for the live wreaths can be made at http://ganationalcemetery.org.
