DerekMy son Hunter and I were lucky enough to participate in the Wreaths Across America event held at Fort Rosecrans national cemetery December 16, 2017.  It’s a special event that has people help put wreaths on the graves of service men and women.  It was a great turnout, and there was a beautiful service beforehand that went through the history of the event.  They detail how the event is held throughout the U.S. on various site on the same date each year.  Each branch of the military was represented and spoke to the importance of the event.  All in all a very powerful event, that showed you first hand the impact it had.

WreathIt was also a great opportunity for my son to get exposed to the sacrifices the service men and women made to allow us to live the life we live today.  It also showed him the kind of impact he can have by reaching out to help when there is need.  A great event that we were very happy to be a part of.
