Newark Lodge #391 Support Wreaths Across America Day

Even with all the differences 2020 brought, to Wreaths Across America Day laying the wreaths remained the same.   Remembering those lives lost, Honoring the men and women who fought for our freedom, and Teaching our children the meaning of it all is what Wreaths Across America is all about.

With a joint effort between the Civil Air Patrol, The Heritage Girls and Newark Lodge 391, 1,061 wreaths were purchased and laid on veteran’s graves.

It is hard to see their faces with the mandatory face coverings and no group pictures because of social distancing but members and guests of Newark Lodge 391 were honored to lay the wreaths.
