Each December on National Wreaths Across America Day, the mission to Remember, Honor and Teach is carried out by coordinating wreath-laying ceremonies at participating ceremonies in all 50 U.S. states, at sea and abroad. This year National Wreaths Across America will be celebrated on this Saturday, December 17 December 2022. DEALEY Division will support again with a color guard and laying of wreaths.

We will drill Saturday, 17 December from 0930 to 1130 for Wreaths Across America at Bedford Union Cemetery, 56 Clinton Rd, Bedford NY 10506. There are approximately 200 graves that will be honored with wreaths. Muster time is 0930. Last year the event went very quickly as there were plenty of volunteers to lay the wreaths. Parents, be prepared to pick up earlier. Uniform is NWU Type III. It will be cold but sunny. Check weather here. Bring your cold weather NWU items to wear (parka, fleece, mock neck, watch cap and gloves). It's easier to take something off than not have something to keep you warm.
