Paying it forward to the Veterans ...

Once again I went to the Camp Nelson Natl. Cemetery to unload wreaths & preposition them for tomorrow's ceremony. Took a few pics on my way out, showing the wreaths in position for the laying of the wreaths on vet graves. This is my 7th year volunteering for unloading, cutting down the boxes, prepositioning the wreaths, and then laying them on graves tomorrow. Three semi trucks were unloaded this morning & forklifts placed the pallets of boxed wreaths at each section, where we then opened the boxes & prepositioned the wreaths. Many thanks to the Sponsors and volunteers that paid for the wreaths, and the semi drivers that brought the wreaths from Maine (donating their truck, time, and fuel expenses).

I'll take some pics of the ceremony & wreath laying, tomorrow, and add them to this thread.

Thank you for volunteering your time and support. Great cause. Much respect. USA FLAG

God Bless America! Thank you for volunteering Pappy.

Had some problems and arrived just as the ceremony concluded. Went down to my usual section and placed wreaths on a dozen or so graves & came home. Took a couple of pics on my way to my section, and left with maybe 30-40 wreaths yet to be placed ... but there were almost that many people still placing them, so I let them finish the job.
