Wreaths to be Laid at Every Veteran’s Grave at Spring Grove Cemetery on Saturday
|
For the first time ever, local collections and an extremely generous anonymous donor have provided sufficient funding so that a wreath can be placed on every veteran’s grave in Darien’s Spring Grove Veterans’ Cemetery. The public is encouraged to attend the Wreaths Across America dedication ceremony to be held at noon on Saturday, December 12. According to local tallies, there are 2,184 veterans buried in the Darien cemetery, one of three designated official veterans’ cemeteries in the state of Connecticut. The other two are in Middletown and Rocky Hill. ________
