Chester Places Wreaths to Honor Veterans

Approximately 3,000 wreaths were laid by 200 volunteers during the inaugural ceremony at the 19-acre Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Goshen which has about 3,400 men and women buried there, including 2,700 veterans.
Wreaths Across America is a national event paying tribute to the military's fallen heroes during the holidays. More than 1,400 cemeteries across the nation participated in the event.
Chester Kiwanians joined in the heart-warming task of placing wreaths this year. Among the veterans honored were the fathers of our very own Colleen Collins (former member Jack Collins) and Frank Sambets.
