Wreaths Across America

Wreaths Across America will hold its national event noon Saturday, Dec. 14, at Bethel Cemetery in Steptoe. Memorial wreaths will be placed for veterans buried at Bethel Cemetery.

The mission of Wreaths Across Americais to remember fallen US veterans, honor those who serve and teach children the value of freedom.

More than 1,640 cemeteries will be participating in Wreaths Across America on Dec. 14.

Bethel Cemetery has veterans buried from the Civil War, the Spanish-American War, WWI, WWII, the Korean War and other wars. Many of those who are buried have no family to remember them.

At the ceremony, volunteers will gather to say the names out loud of those veterans so they are never forgotten.

All are encouraged to attend this event.
