So proud of all of these Young Marines and thankful to the adult Marine leadership for taking their time to shape the lives of these awesome young people in a positive way. A special shout out to my grandson, Young Marine Anthony Glass.

my husband is buried at the Barrancus National Cemetery and it makes me proud that these young people took the time out of their schedule to honor him and others buried there. Makes me proud to know that his sacrifice is still being honored.

The wreaths look very festive when one overlooks the cemetery. Are they placed at random or can survivors request that a wreath will be placed on a family member’s grave site?

Very Nice-think I’ll have my sister place them on all my family veterans’ graves at home.

As a Son of the American Revolution and my sisters as Daughter of the American Revoluition., we have had family members fightng in every was since the American Revolution. I am a Vietnam Veteran and my Mom was a Navy Veteran (WWII), and my Uncle was Spanish Americam War, it goes on for a long time back to my Great…Grandfather in his buckskins and Pennsylvania Liong Rifle in the Revolutionary War.
Nice touch during the holidays. Thank you for caring.
