2021 is the 4th year for the Wreaths Across America Ceremony in Paulding County and it was a huge success! 828 wreaths were ordered, this included pick ups and cemetery placements. The ceremony took place at St. Paul Cemetery in Paulding.
The VFW Post 587, Paulding Sheriffs Department, Scout troop 312, and Flatrock Junior Farmers 4-H all volunteered to participate in this special occasion. Many other county residents also participated on a not-so-wonderful weather day, but it was a good time to lay wreaths to Celebrate the Deceased Veterans.
From the Revolutionary War to present day conflicts, our veterans are devoted sons and daughters, fathers and mothers, sisters and brothers. They come from all backgrounds in life to place those lives on the line for our freedoms. Wreaths Across America coordinates wreath-laying ceremonies at more than 2,500 locations across the United States, at sea and abroad.
While coordinating wreath-laying ceremonies each December on National Wreaths Across America Day is a big part of the national organization, Wreaths Across America, work and mission to Remember, Honor and Teach. And this is carried out throughout the year. From our Remembrance Tree program to the Wreaths Across America Museum in Maine, there are many different ways in which you can get involved!
