Something to remember when all of us on this side are having a good time this Christmas.

Wreaths Across America happens at veterans cemeteries nationwide. We participated today in a much smaller event in Baltimore.

There are still some fine people around.

The wife was up at Sanhills Regional Veterans Cemetery today and helped lay wreaths on the graves. She said she had a great time.

My daughter was one of them.

There is something special about the American people. Too bad the media doesn’t focus on that instead of the weird, the deviant, the ugly.

This is a great country with great people

Beautiful. God Bless them and the brave, departed heroes.

USA.

I had inquired on an earlier thread regarding this wreath-laying ceremony whether wreaths were placed on the grave sites of soldiers in the Confederate section of the cemetery. The earlier thread stated a wreath would be placed on EVERY grave site in the cemetery, thus the question.

God Bless Them!

Don’t forget our living Service Members/Veterans, too! They’ve reached capacity for Christmas, 2016 - but you can always send a New Year greeting/letter.

My dear mother-in-law was laid to rest in Arlington on October 25 of this year. What an awesome, dignified, and patriotic ceremony was afforded to her, the wife of the veteran. Her husband will be there with her when his time comes. He was a Navy chaplain 32+ years. I wonder if the wreaths are for spouses as well?

Thanks to all who have served, all who are serving and all who will serve in the future.

America’s finest.
