Wreath-laying ceremonies will be held at multiple sites in Freestone and Limestone Counties, joining 4,700 other locations across the country for National Wreaths Across America Day.
Coordinated and led by local volunteers, the Jonathan Hardin Chapter, NSDAR, a sponsorship group has raised funds throughout the year to sponsor the placement of more than 630 veterans’ wreaths on the headstones of our fallen service members laid to rest at the following cemeteries: LaSalle (Groesbeck), New Hope (Jewett), Salem (Teague), Driver (Teague), and Wortham (Wortham).
In addition to these locations, two other organizations have joined the WAA mission to Remember-Honor -Teach. This is the first year the Veteran’s Remembrance Park-Teague and Shanks Cemetery Association will participate as registered sites.
