Veterans Day

Today is a day set aside to remember and honor all the American Veterans who have served our Country. We remember the sacrifices made to preserve and protect our freedoms. Take time to honor those who gave their lives and those who returned home disabled. We owe both our Veterans and our Active Duty Military members our gratitude for their service and sacrifice.





Wreaths Across America
Remember the Fallen;
Honor Those Who Serve;
Teach Our Children the Value of Freedom.




For over 17 years the Worchester Wreath Company has been donating wreaths to be placed on the headstones of our fallen heroes. Each December the wreaths are placed by volunteers at National Cemeteries across the country.

Volunteering for this event has become a tradition for our family and now many friends have joined us. This year our family will lay wreaths at both Arlington National Cemetery and Quantico National Cemetery to honor veterans that have touched our lives or the lives of those we know.

If you would like to sponsor a wreath you can do so by going to http://www.wreaths-across-america.org/.
