For the Tomahawk Leader

HARSHAW – Northwoods National Cemetery, 4520 Lakewood Rd., Harshaw, will host a wreath-laying ceremony on Saturday, Dec. 18, joining more than 2,700 other locations across the country for National Wreaths Across America Day.

Northwoods National Cemetery is an official Wreaths Across America (WAA) location.

“Coordinated and led by local volunteers, fundraising groups have raised funds throughout the year to sponsor the placement of wreaths on the headstones of our fallen service members laid to rest there,” a release from WAA stated. “The annual event seeks to further the WAA mission of Remember, Honor, Teach, ensuring that the memory of those who served our country endures.”

The ceremony will begin at 10:30 a.m. with grave-specific wreath placements by family and friends. Remaining wreath placements will follow.

At 11 a.m., a program including the Ceremonial (Branch of Service & POW/MIA) wreath laying will take place.

Masking and social distancing will be required for those not fully vaccinated. Due to limited parking, carpooling is recommended.

The ceremony is sponsored by American Legion Riders, District 11; Veterans Ceremony – U.G.C., Inc.; veterans, active service members, families, community members and organizations.

For further information on group sponsorship, sponsoring a wreath, or to volunteer to place a wreath, visit www.wreathsacrossamerica.org/WINWNC.
