Over 27,000 Wreaths Placed At Barrancas Cemetery During Wreaths Across America Program
December 15, 2024
Over 27,000 wreaths were placed Saturday at Barrancas National Cemetery at NAS Pensacola as part of the national Wreaths Across America initiative.
Youth-centric organizations, religious groups and citizens across the country volunteer to place wreaths on the gravesites of individuals interred at national cemeteries across the nation, including the 100 acres at Barrancas.
For centuries, fresh evergreens have been used to symbolize honor and a living tribute renewed annually. Wreaths Across America believes the tradition represents a living memorial that honors veterans, active-duty military, and their families. When volunteers say the name of a veteran aloud while placing a wreath, it ensures they live on in our hearts and memories and are always remembered.
Pictured: Wreaths were placed Saturday morning at Barrancas National Cemetery, including at the grave of Marine Corps Cpl. Jonathan “J.R.” Spears of Molino (top and first below). Photos for NorthEscambia.com, click to enlarge.
