The public is invited to a ceremony on Dec. 17, 2016 at 9 a.m. featuring a military band, commemorative speeches and many families & friends of veterans who have passed. The public is invited to this special event and spectacular scene which includes rows of wreaths with red holiday bows leaning on gravestones.
