Holiday Wreaths HON Graves of Service Members

Thousands of U.S. military service members buried in Marietta National Cemetery were honored with holiday wreaths during the Wreaths Across America event, Remember, Honor, Teach. Sixty sponsor groups collaborated to fund wreaths for the over 17,000 graves, with about 14,500 wreaths successfully placed. Donna Rowe, president of the Cobb Veterans Memorial Foundation, expressed hope to cover all graves next year, noting that all graves were covered last year.

Despite some disappointment, Rowe described the event as incredibly emotional and powerful. Representatives from every branch of the armed forces participated, placing wreaths on service members’ graves corresponding to their branch. Attendees also came together to recite the Pledge of Allegiance, adding to the solemn and heartfelt atmosphere. Rowe commented on the significant personal stories shared by attendees, highlighting the deep impact and purpose of the event in honoring fallen heroes.
