Local volunteers will be removing wreaths from graves at the Danville National Cemetery this Saturday.
Tammy Williams, the local coordinator for Wreaths Across America, which puts holiday wreaths on the graves at the cemetery each year, says the wreaths will be taken down beginning at 11 a.m. on Saturday.
Wreaths Removal Day is a free, non-political event, that is usually open to all people, but this year each individual location will be abiding by all local and state safety guidelines and rules set forth by the participating cemetery locations, at which Wreaths Across America is a guest.
Wreaths Across America is the non-profit organization best known for placing veterans’ wreaths on the headstones of our nation’s fallen at Arlington National Cemetery. However, the organization, in total, places more than 2.2 million sponsored wreaths at over 2200 participating locations nationwide and offers other programs throughout the calendar year.
