10th Annual
Wreaths across America
Wreath Laying & Remembrance Ceremony
Florida National Cemetery
December 12, 2015
Our Master of Ceremonies noted that there were 900,000 Wreaths laid today at our National Cemetery's and 12,000 of them laid here today at Florida National Cemetery, Bushnell, Florida. Posting and Retirement of Colors was done by a Joint Service Color Guard and the Withlacoochee Chapter of The Sons of the American Revolution Color Guard. Posting was right and left of center speaker area. Like previous years there was a big demand for the SAR color Guard to stand for about 40 minutes to allow a requesting public to take pictures and ask questions before the program started. I think it is safe to say that over 200 different people took pictures. There was also many request made to allow children to come and stand with us for picture taking. Many large contingents of youth were included in today's program. The program Missions, Remember, Honor and Teach were mentioned often throughout the program. It was a day of clear weather, sunshine, a few puffy clouds and large crowds of citizens gathered to honor our fallen veterans.
