Wreaths Across America event scheduled

Mountain Home’s event, hosted by American Legion Post 26, is part of a coordinated event scheduled to occur simultaneously at more than 4,900 participating locations in all 50 states as well as locations at sea and overseas.

The Mountain Home community joins cities across the nation Saturday morning to honor its military veterans during the annual Wreaths Across America Day observance.

Currently scheduled to start at 10 a.m. that day at Mountain View Cemetery, community representatives and volunteers plan to continue a tradition by placing specially designated wreaths in honor of the Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard and Merchant Marine as well as current and former prisoners or war and those still missing in action.
