Wreaths Across America

On Saturday, December 14, 2019 at 12:00 PM, West Florida Genealogy Society will be helping Barrancas National Cemetery to remember and honor our veterans by laying Remembrance Wreaths on the graves of our country's fallen heroes.

Please help us honor and remember as many fallen heroes as possible by sponsoring remembrance wreaths, volunteering on Wreaths Day, or inviting your family and friends to attend with you.
