EVENT DESCRIPTION: “In December of every year, hundreds of thousands of Americans join together to honor our veterans by placing a beautiful wreath at grave sites during ceremonies conducted at cemeteries, historic sites & memorials and even held on military and civilian vessels…at which time wreaths are offered to the ocean in memory of those who have perished at sea in service to their country. This effort is sponsored by a very special organization known as “Wreaths Across America.” Ann M. Wolf

DISCLOSURE: Ann M. Wolf created the Invocation & subsequent videos as an independent artist, not as an employee or contractor for the organization "Wreaths Across America." She did so in order to promote the values as taught by WAA & to support Americanism throughout our nation.
