This year a project will be honoring fallen military members by placing wreaths at Moorefield Cemetery in Hermitage, and it will be the only site in Mercer county that will be participating this year.
The Wreaths Across America initiative sees wreaths being placed as a memorial to the fallen, and everyone is encouraged to attend the ceremony where they will be laid. As it will be held outdoors, everyone is reminded to dress appropriately.
The activity is being undertaken by the Pymatuning Chapter DAR. Its listing explained that while it will be a chance for the public to pay tribute to those who serve, it will also offer a teaching opportunity. Wreaths are available for sponsoring and this can be done by businesses, individuals, and organizations. Individual sponsorships are $15 each, and there are other funding packages as well. There is also an option for those who would like to purchase a wreath to hang on their own front door.
A function like this not only honors military members, it teaches the community about the price they paid. Ribbons and other decorative elements that include a custom graphic design can be prepared to use during this sort of activity by area printers.
This year, Wreaths Across America will be visiting Moorefield Cemetery for this special ceremony on December 18. Everyone is welcome to be a part of this meaningful event.
