Please join Worthington Chapter DAR as we gather on National Wreath Laying Day to remember our fallen, honor those who serve and teach younger generations the value of freedom. At more than 1200 locations across the country simultaneous programs will be held for Wreaths Across America at 12 noon on December 15, 2018. Following the ceremony, we will adjourn to lay wreaths on the headstones of our veterans at Flint Rd Cemetery, St John’s Episcopal Cemetery and Walnut Grove Cemetery- Circle of Honor. As each wreath is placed the veterans name is voiced thanking them for their service. Details on wreath laying will be provided at the ceremony as there is limited parking at some cemeteries.
