U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. -- The U.S. Air Force Academy will host a team of volunteers to place wreaths on graves of veterans at the Academy cemetery Saturday, Dec. 14.
The wreath laying is part of a nation-wide initiative sponsored by Wreaths Across America to recognize the service to the nation by military veterans, many of whom were killed in combat.
Academy participation in this annual event is centered on the opportunity to honor and remember our veterans during the holiday season. We have also worked with the families to respect their faith traditions and recognize spirituality in a myriad of ways.
An official ceremony for the event will begin at 10 a.m. and volunteers will start laying the wreaths at approximately 10:20 a.m.
