“Wreaths Across America Day”
Today was “Wreaths Across America Day”. I was honored to spend the day with the Society of Military Widows of Southern Nevada Chapter #34 at the Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Boulder City. The service started at 9:00 a.m. this morning, there was standing room only. There were two outstanding speakers, and presentation of the wreaths for each military service. After the service, we picked up wreaths and went to the grave sites with the cadets from the Air Force, Civil Air Patrol Composite Squadron.
From the grave sites we went to the Nevada State Veterans Home. Members had brought large-print puzzle books, picture frames, artificial flower arrangements, socks (their favorite gift), and I brought copies of my latest book, “You’re in the Army Now” which I signed and personalized for each veteran. We talked to a lot of the veterans and military widows, while they were eating lunch.
There were 15 of us who went to Wreaths Across America Day at the Boulder City Cemetery: Jeanne Lewis, Alberta Elliott, Janet Snyder, Midge Sparlin, Marilyn Fernandez and daughter Michelle, Kay Milzer, Bea McKelvy, Bev Wyas, Sam Colarusso, Angela Colarusso, Jeri Flynn, Pearl Chesnaky, Anita Domingues, and Denise Ashurst.
Hope more of you will join us next year!
