Wreaths Across America – Greene Mount Cemetery

The annual laying of wreaths on veteran’s headstones will continue this year, expanding into two cemeteries in Greene County. This annual event, held in many cemeteries across the nation, seeks to further the Wreaths Across America mission of Remember, Honor, Teach, ensuring that the memory of those who served our country endures.

The Greene County Composite Squadron 606, Civil Air Patrol, will host a wreath-lying ceremony at Greene Mount Cemetery in Waynesburg on Saturday, December 16 at 12:00pm. Coordinated and led by local volunteers from Greene County Composite Squadron 606 Civil Air patrol, donations of wreaths for the headstones of fallen service members have been obtained from local merchants and citizens. Ryan Armstrong will complete the welcome, followed by a minute of silence and then the advancement of colors. The guest speaker will be Colonel Michael Belding.
