Wreaths Across America Held
December 19, 2021
Thousands of Christmas wreaths were placed on graves at Barrancas National Cemetery on NAS Pensacola and other area cemeteries on Saturday.
The wreaths were placed as part of the national event “Wreaths Across America”, a tradition that began over 20 years ago at Arlington National Cemetery in Washington. The wreaths were placed to remember and honor veterans through the placing Remembrance Wreaths on the graves of our country’s fallen heroes and the act of saying the name of each veteran aloud.
There were 26,000 wreaths placed throughout Barrancas National Cemetery.

It is so comforting to see the patriotic efforts of this group honoring our nation’s hero’s who have served willingly and bravely for the cause of freedom, not only in our country but across the globe as well. I would love to see that level of patriotism again in this country and acknowledge the blessings we have in America. The freedom and opportunities that has been granted us is because of those who have gone before us in establishing and securing this freedom through our constitution and laws that gives us what we enjoy today. My gratitude to all the patriots of the past and those who are presently serving in defense of our country. God has truly blessed our America and I pray that we continue to recognize that and give Him our praise!
THANK YOU W. A. A. EVERY ONE ACROSS U.S. A. FOR YOUR TIME MY FATHER IS HERBERT SCHENK IS AT BARRANCAS TOO.
