Wreaths Across America ceremony set in Macomb County
Remember the fallen, honor those who serve, and teach children the value of freedom. That is the goal of an upcoming ceremony with Wreaths Across America.
A Wreaths Across America ceremony is planned for Dec. 16 at noon at Resurrection Cemetery in Clinton Township. Wreath placement on the graves of our country's fallen heroes beings immediately following the ceremony. As wreaths are placed, the veterans name will be read.
Wreaths Across America is a nonprofit organization established in 2007. Its primary activity is distributing veteran's wreaths for placement on graves in military cemeteries.
Last year, Wreaths Across America and its national network of volunteers placed more than 2.7 million sponsored veterans' wreaths on headstones of our nation's service members at 3,702 participating locations.
Resurrection Cemetery is located at 18201 Clinton River Road.
