Wreaths placed on graves at Sunset Vista Cemetery in the Foothills
YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - Local Veterans were honored in the Fortuna Foothills for National Wreaths Across America Day.
Local Veterans and current military members gathered at Sunset Vista Cemetery to honor Veterans who have passed away.
Family members of Veterans and other citizens were also in attendance to pay respects and partake in the laying of the wreaths.
"The Wreaths Across America is to remember all our fallen Veterans, and lay a wreath, say their name, so they are not forgotten," said Winnie Moir, the location coordinator.
"It's very heartwarming to see the community come out and recognize the service of our veterans and all those that served," said Bob Engelhardt, the co-coordinator and a military Veteran.
The wreaths were donated all the way from Maine.
