Wreaths Across America Honors Veterans
December 18, 2016
Thousands of wreaths were placed on graves at Barrancas National Cemetery on NAS Pensacola on Saturday.
The wreaths were placed as part of the national event “Wreaths Across America”, a tradition that began over 20 years ago at Arlington National Cemetery in Washington.

Did all graves get a wreath?
My parents were cremated and their ashes are buried at Barrancas National Cemetery, so there is a plaque with their names on it. Were wreaths placed there as well? I don’t live in the area any more and not able to get there this Holiday season.
Did all the graves get one?
Wreaths Across America is a beautiful way to honor and show appreciation from a grateful nation.
If at all possible. even with the new security hassles, going to Barrancas National Cemetery is a humbling and touching experience on any day yet especially for the Wreaths Across America and Flags In.
Rest in Eternal Peace
