Wreaths Across America honors fallen military at holiday time: 'Deep appreciation for those who serve'
Fox News
Each December, the nonprofit Wreaths Across America helps families and volunteers place beautiful holiday wreaths at the gravestones of America's fallen heroes to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation.
"I have a deep appreciation for those who serve and who give up part of their life, or sometimes all of it," Cindy Kauffman, daughter of a US Army veteran, told Fox News Digital on Saturday. She regularly participates in Wreaths Across America events for veterans at cemeteries in and around the Hawthorne, New York, area. This year she spent most of Saturday, Dec. 18, outdoors at various wreath-laying ceremonies and events.
"Honoring veterans is extremely important," she added. "It's extremely important that we don't ever forget what our veterans have done for us. They've been giving their lives for our freedom. Those who serve deserve our respect."
