My 10th year to volunteer with Wreaths Across America, very humbling experience.
Remember, Honor, Teach.
The ceremony will begin at 1100AM. “Kick off” is actually at 830AM with the beginning of wreath placement. For base access info, maps, and wreath placement instructions go to barrancaswreaths.com. You must register as a volunteer to get NAS access on Saturday if you do not have a DoD issued ID.
