Wreaths Across America
The Fourth Annual Wreaths Across America Ceremony will be held on Saturday December 14 at 2pm at the Friendship United Methodist Cemetery. This short but impactful ceremony will honor those veterans from all wars that are buried in the Friendship Cemetery. On December 14, more than 2 million wreaths will be placed on veterans graves across local, state, national and military sites around the world. Wreaths Across America began in 2007 and now has spread to over 4,600 ceremonies in all 50 states, at sea and abroad.
Members of GCUMC along with members of the Rachel Caldwell Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, will participate. This year the Guilford Composite Squadron of the Civil Air Patrol, (Air Force Auxiliary) have worked to provide the wreaths for our cemetery. They will also provide an honor guard with the flag ceremony.
Parking Available. Bring a chair or stand for the short ceremony.
