A group of North Country volunteers will be heading to Arlington National Cemetery this weekend to place wreaths on the graves of America’s fallen. North Country Honor Role is a group made up of law enforcement officers and veterans. Several members of the group have taken part in Wreaths Across America in past years, and will join the national organization once again, placing wreaths on the graves of veterans at Arlington. The group put out an appeal to raise money to pay for the cost of the wreaths, and by mid-week, had reached its goal.
People donating can also dedicate a wreath to a local cemetery or to a loved one.
Local volunteers also lay wreaths on the graves of veterans in cemeteries throughout Clinton County.
