For the first time in my 3.5 year CAP career, I got to participate in this event.  It was truly a very humbling and meaningful event.  We placed 650 wreaths on the markers for veterans from the Civil War through Viet Nam.  I look forward to doing it again next year!!

I was honored to organize the event for the fourth year in a row at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery in St. Louis, our nation's second largest veterans' cemetery.

Over 1,000 wreaths were layed very quickly by the, almost, 200 people in attendance. 

I was personally happy to see more children in attendance this year, including more CAP cadets assisting.
