Each year, wreaths are laid on each headstone at the VA cemetery. This year a local organization took on the task of organizing and fundraising for the wreaths. As part of the new program, they invited family members to come to the cemetery on the day before the public ceremony to lay the wreath for their loved ones. The girls and I went up there to honor Kevin by laying his wreath.
It was a special time. The wreaths were staged throughout the cemetery, and we were invited to pick one out.
Kendall made sure that the bow was perfect.
It was nice to go up there with the girls and have this special time.
The local organization Idaho Veterans Wreaths raised enough money to have some left over to use throughout the year to support veterans in need.
