U.S. Marine Corps veteran Walt Field says a silent prayer after placing a wreath at the headstone of Benjamin Howard during the annual Wreaths Across America Day on Saturday, Dec. 16, at the Beaufort National Cemetery. Field said he places the wreath, says a silent prayer and says the deceased veteran’s name out loud before placing a penny on the headstone before leaving. Wreaths were placed on more than 26,000 head stones Saturday. Bob Sofaly/The Island News
