Wreaths Across America, Laying of Wreaths- Updated with Video Link

January 1, 2023

The annual “Laying of Wreaths” was held Saturday, December 17 at Ft. Rosecrans and Miramar National Cemeteries.  Our Chapter Color Guard led the procession to the stage at the Ft. Rosecrans event.  There was a large crowd on hand on a picture perfect day.

We had hoped to fire a musket salute however circumstances prevented all but three Chapter members to attend.

We were notified that our Chapter’s Wreath count had increased again and now stands at 670!
