Winston-Salem, NC -- The NC Civil Air Patrol took part in a special nationwide wreath-laying ceremony to honor the men and women that lost their lives while serving in our Armed Forces, at noon on Saturday.
The event, Wreaths Across America, is an annual nationwide service held in all 50 states and the District of Columbia on the same day at exactly the same time.
Saturday's ceremony, although short with regard to time, meant a great deal for the community, and for family members who remembered their loved ones who died fighting for our country.
The ceremony was conducted by the Winston-Salem Composite Squadron of the Civil Air Patrol.
Two of the notable wreath-laying ceremonies were held at Arlington National Cemetery and the World War II memorial.
A convoy in the northeast region carried wreaths to community events in Maine, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland.
