Monday, November 23, is the last day to order specific request wreaths to place or have placed upon the graves/markers of fallen veterans at Fort Bayard National Cemetery. Members of the non-profit local Wreaths Across America planning group plus local veterans and interested community members will lay the donated wreaths the day prior to the December 12 ceremony.
The fresh green balsam wreaths, to remember veterans over the Christmas holiday, are shipped from Maine to over 1,000 cemeteries across the United States. The cost is $15 a wreath, but order two for $30 and a third is provided to Fort Bayard.
