Wreaths Across America at the Kentucky Veterans Cemetery Central in Radcliff will “remember those who served, honor those who have passed, and teach the next generation” during their annual wreath-laying ceremony on Saturday, December 13 beginning at 10 a.m.
“We start out with a small ceremony,” said Area Coordinator Donna Betson. “We have a guest speaker. It will be one of the generals from Fort Knox. We have quick instructions on what to do with the wreaths after we have the prayer and the short speech, and we have everyone wait to allow enough time for the family members to lay a wreath at their loved one’s headstone, and then the rest of the group is allowed after that.”
Free parking and transportation will be available for those planning to attend.
“The DAV Chapter 3, VFW Post 10281, and Willow Creek have joined together to provide transportation, and it starts at 8:30 a.m. from the Powers Paper parking lot located at 630 Knox Boulevard,” Betson said.
Those looking to support the local chapter can take advantage of a matching program. From December 13 through December 31, every wreath purchased for the local chapter will be matched by a purchase by the national Wreaths Across America organization.
