Truett Calvert and Charlotte Waldrum present a program on May 6th about Wreaths Across America, which is coming to Midlothian in December.
In 2022, Wreaths Across America and its national network of volunteers placed more than 2.7 million sponsored veterans' wreaths on headstones of our nation's service members at 3,702 participating locations. This was accomplished with the support of more than 5,000 sponsorship groups, corporation contributions, and in-kind donations from the transportation industry across the country.
The wreath-laying that began more than 30 years ago is still held annually, on the second or third Saturday of December. The main event is at Arlington National Cemetery, but there will be local events, and one is planned for the Midlothian Cemetery.
