Evergreen Washelli Memorial Park hosted an annual wreath laying ceremony in conjunction with the Navy Wives Club of America, Totem #277 and “Wreaths Across America” on Saturday, December 10th. We would like to thank our guest speaker this year, Skip Dreps, and the Navy Wives Club for their tireless work to bring this event to fruition.
The Seattle ceremony was covered by Seattle’s KING TV and its affiliates, the video is available above.
This special wreath laying ceremony to honor veterans buried within the Veterans’ Cemetery section occurred simultaneously with Arlington National Cemetery and other Veterans Cemeteries in all 50 states.
“Wreaths Across America” organizes this event each year with the message of remembering our fallen heroes, honoring those who serve, and teaching our children about the sacrifices made by veterans and their families to preserve our freedoms.
Donations and Volunteers are needed If you would like to make a donation or participate in next year’s wreath laying ceremony, please contact Lorraine Zimmerman of the Totem #277 Navy Wives Club of America.
