Honoring Their Sacrifice

More than 11,000 wreaths placed at Beaufort National Cemetery

Hundreds of U.S. veterans, their families and a host of volunteers squeezed into the Beaufort National Cemetery on Saturday, Dec. 15, to remember their fallen comrades at Christmas time by  placing 11,007  wreaths on head stones.

Beaufort’s celebration of Wreaths Across America coincided with a national effort all over the country.
