The local chapters of Wreaths Across America will be honoring veterans this Saturday.
For the seventeenth year, Wreaths Across America will be placing a wreath at each of the graves at the Kentucky Veterans Cemetery Central in Radcliff. Family members and area veteran organizations will be placing wreaths in memory of the more than 10,300 veterans in the cemetery.
Wreaths Across America will conduct a brief ceremony at 10 a.m. at the cemetery’ columbarium, after which family members present will be able to place a wreath at their loved one’s grave. Volunteers will then place the remaining wreaths.
Volunteers will also be placing wreaths this Saturday at each of the graves at the Fort Knox Main Post Cemetery. The event will begin with a ceremony at noon at which Major General Johnny Davis will give remarks. Volunteers and family members will then place the wreaths for more than 850 veterans. Attendees should park at the Lindsey Golf Course parking lot, located near the Chaffee Gate.
