Wreaths honor U.S. veteran heroes each December
Wreaths Across America came to the Whitefish Cemetery on Saturday, Dec. 16, 2023. The VFW Post 276 along with volunteers placed wreaths on the gravesites at the cemetery. A ceremony with the Posting of Colors by the Boy Scouts and remarks by Congressman Ryan Zinke was planned.
Each December since 2008 on National Wreaths Across America Day, the organization's mission to 'Remember, Honor and Teach' is carried out through wreath-laying ceremonies at thousands of locations across the U.S., at sea and abroad.
This was the first time the Wreaths Across America event was held in Whitefish.
