As the holiday festivities approach, families and volunteers across the country have joined Wreaths Across America’s mission to honor and remember our country’s fallen heroes this holiday season.
Wreaths across America, a nonprofit group founded in 2007, honors and raises awareness of the sacrifices of veterans through wreath-laying ceremonies and other events.
At Northern New Jersey’s Veterans Memorial Cemetery, families and volunteers laid wreaths on the graves of their loved ones while saying their names aloud.
This year proceeds from the money raised from wreath sales went towards the organization Pets for Vets, which connects military Veterans with rescued animals!
