Wreaths Across America--Remember, Honor and Teach--December 10, 2011--12 p.m.
On December 10, 2011, local groups will aid Wreaths Across America in honoring veterans by laying wreaths on the graves of veterans in the Middletown Veterans’ Cemetery and the Veterans’ Cemetery in Rocky Hill. The ceremony will be held simultaneously with the Wreaths Across America ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery and ceremonies in state veterans’ cemeteries, veterans’ monuments and local cemeteries.
