It is a massive endeavor of placing a wreath on each of the 50,508 graves at the Dallas-Fort Worth National Cemetery. This will be the third year that there are enough wreaths to be placed at every veteran's grave, but it did not start out that way.
More than 2.4 million veterans across the country will be honored and remembered Saturday as a wreath is laid at their gravesite on National Wreaths Across America Day.More than 2.4 million veterans across the country will be honored and remembered Saturday as a wreath is laid at their gravesite on National Wreaths Across America Day. It all started with two parents wanting to honor their son 13 years ago.
People who don't have someone laid to rest at the cemetery willing to come out and honor our military men and women laid to rest here. Chris and Mary Bush began raising funds for the wreaths after their son, Corporal Peter John Courcy, was killed in action in Afghanistan on Feb. 10, 2009. The Bush family say the wreaths do far more than remember and honor America's heroes; they also teach the next generation.
