Wreaths Across America

On December 15, 2012, local groups will aid Wreaths Across America in honoring our veterans by laying wreaths on the graves of veterans in the Middletown Veterans’ Cemetery and the Veterans’ Cemetery in Rocky Hill. The ceremony will be held simultaneously with the “Wreaths Across America™” ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery and ceremonies in State Veterans’ Cemeteries, Veterans’ Monuments, and local cemeteries.


You can help honor our veterans by donating wreaths. Contributions for wreaths to be placed on gravestones at the CT State Veterans Cemeteries can be made on-line at www.wreathsacrossamerica.org.  Enter “CTDAR006” as the sponsoring group code (for an extra donated wreaths) and the code of the cemetery of your choosing:


            State Veterans Cemetery in Middletown   (CTMVCM)
