2020 presented many, many problems and our programs were limited and required changes as we attempted to adhere to COVID protocols.  It wasn't easy, but the safety of our members, our families and program participants was front and center in our planning.  

On Saturday, 19 December 2020, we again co-sponsored a WREATHS ACROSS AMERICA program with the Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 233 at the First Presbyterian Church of Woodbridge.  Approximately 310 wreaths were layed upon the graves of the Veterans interred in this historic cemetery.  

Our ceremony was cut short.  Our numbers were limited.  We couldn't even go inside to eat.  But we persevered and the task was completed, even though we had to honor the restrictions placed upon indoor and outdoor gatherings by our governor.

It is our hope and our prayer that 2021 will bring us all good health and happiness and allow us to present a ceremony fitting and proper, as we honor those who served.

Mark your calendars now....WREATHS ACROSS AMERICA will be held on 18 December 2021.
