As my unit's PAO it was a great day.  Two local TV stations & the regional newspaper showed up and all did comprehensive stories; interestingly looking at different aspects of the ceremony today.

I feel good that my press releases and telephone followups resulted in substantial press coverage.  The cadets & seniors directly involved in the ceremony look sharp and each media had them in videos & pictures.

The Great Lakes National Cemetery in Holly, MI placed 2700 individual wreaths, and had an estimated 700 people in attendance.  We started placing wreaths at 11:00; at 11:30, I looked around and realized that we were done.

The keynote speaker for the formal ceremony was Col, Klement Caron, US Army TACOM, himself an OIF/OND veteran.  The National Anthem was performed by a local firefighter, and two bagpipers performed "Amazing Grace" at the end of the ceremony.

Today, a small contingent lead by Maj Gen Courter and MIWG commander Col Leo Burke, participated in an international exchange of wreaths with the Royal Canadian Air Cadets of Windsor, Ontario.  This event took place on the center of the Ambassador Bridge, which links Detroit and Windsor.  Given the blizzard conditions we've had all day, I'm sure that was quite an experience!
