Wreaths

Rocky Gap Veterans Cemetery took part in the Wreaths Across America ceremony Saturday. Wreaths were placed in the cemetery to represent the U.S. Armed Forces, Prisoners of War and those considered missing in action. Wreaths Across America began in 2006 as an offshoot of the Arlington National Cemetery wreath project, which started in 1992 with the annual placement of 5,000 wreaths donated by the Worcester Wreath Co. of Harrington, Maine.
