Draughon claims that COVID compelled a modest ceremony to take place for two years.

But now they are appealing for additional volunteers to take time out on Saturday morning and express appreciation and show respect to a Veteran.

“I always say, bring the kids have them place a wreath,” says Draughon. “Have them just take a look at the names on there and wonder what they might have done in their lifetime and say thanks we appreciate you.”

This major event will take place across the country at the same time.

While it may appear to be a large effort, in the past, so many people have attended the ceremony that it took less than an hour to place all of the wreaths on Veterans’ grave sites.

Since 2007, the Nevada Veterans Coalition has taken part in the event. Donations gathered throughout the year enable the wreaths to be produced.

Draughon thinks the cemetery looks lovely during the holidays, and it’s a lovely way to honor a veteran.
