MANSFIELD, Ohio — For the first time, members of Jared Mansfield Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution participated in Wreaths Across America.
The members helped place wreaths in the Ohio Western Reserve National Cemetery in Rittman, Ohio, to honor veterans buried there. They were able to lay a wreath on the grave of one of their own member’s husband to honor and pay our respect to him for his service. The members were all humbled to be able to honor the fallen heroes by placing wreaths on their gravesites.
Please continue with your support and help spread the word so Ohio Western Reserve National Cemetery might be able to place a wreath at each gravesite. Information about giving a wreath can be found at http://www.wrcwreaths.org/.
Participating were Joanie Wyatt, Camilla Perrill, Missy Derrenberger, Joyce Vanatter and Pat Jennings
