Wreaths Across America 

Remember: Our Fallen U. S. Veterans.  Honor: Those Who Serve.  Teach: Your Children The Value of Freedom.

Freedom is not free.  Someone paid the ultimate price and others served with a cost as well.

The Wreaths Across America program happened  here in Jacksonville and across the United States on December 17, 2022.  The mission is stated above and is a reminder that we must love and protect our freedom.

This year, my 9 year old grandson participated in the laying of wreaths and was able to lay a wreath on the grave of my Father, a World War II vet and a cousin.  He also laid a wreath on that of Mema .He laid a wreath by Alec P. Vaughan, Jr., my Dad, his great grandfather and a cousin, Richard Torres. He also laid one by his Mema, Emily Sweet Vaughan and her husband, George Sweet.
