January 24, 2024

Many of the Christmas wreaths gathered up during Saturday’s Retiring of the Wreaths were decorated with items making them more personal to friends and family members. There were so many volunteers helping that the wreaths, originally placed on the interments at the Beaufort National Cemetery on Wreaths Across America Day in December, were gathered up in about 20 minutes.
