On Saturday, Dec. 13, at 11am, volunteers from Wreaths Across America will be at Churchill County Cemetery to lay remembrance wreaths on veterans' graves. This is an event that Wreaths Across America holds every year around Christmas.
The Wreaths Across America mission is to remember the fallen, honor those who serve, and teach the next generation the value of freedom. According to their website, over 2 million volunteers are involved at more than 5,200 locations, including all 50 states, at sea, and abroad.
The 2025 theme for Wreaths Across America is “keep moving forward”, which was inspired by the last words of Captain Joshua Byers (United States Army, KIA, in Fallujah, Iraq, July 23, 2003).
According to executive director Karen Worcester, “There will always be challenges to overcome as individuals, communities, and a country, but we must keep moving forward together. This year, we will share not only the Byers' story of resilience but also the stories of many others who continue to live with purpose every day and have chosen to keep moving forward."
