Join us on Saturday, December 19 at 12 pm to honor the men and women who served our nation. After a brief ceremony, volunteers of all ages will lay fresh evergreen wreaths, each one placed with care and each veteran’s name spoken aloud to keep their memory alive. 

This meaningful tradition invites us to reflect, remember, and teach future generations the importance of service and sacrifice. Whether you're a longtime participant or joining for the first time, your presence helps ensure their stories are never forgotten. 

Come be part of a moment of unity, gratitude, and remembrance.
