Highland County Honor Guard to conduct 'Wreaths Across America' ceremony

The Highland County Veterans Honor Guard will host a “Wreaths Across America” observance Saturday, Dec. 14.

A wreath-laying ceremony will be held between 11 a.m. and noon at the Highland County Veterans Memorial at the Highland County Courthouse in Hillsboro. Anyone wishing to attend is welcome.

Wreaths Across America (WAA) is a national effort that grew thanks to a simple picture of wreaths laid at soldiers' graves covered with snow at Arlington National Cemetery. In addition to Arlington National Cemetery, wreaths are laid at more than 2,700 participating locations across America each December.
