THE TOWN OF HERNDON REQUESTED NO PUBLIC CEREMONY DUE TO COVID-19

Information and photos shared as veterans buried at Chestnut Grove Cemetery were remembered and honored

863 VETERANS HONORED DECEMBER 19, 2020 AT
CHESTNUT GROVE CEMETERY WREATHS ACROSS AMERICA

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO MADE DONATIONS
TO SUPPORT WREATHS ACROSS AMERICA

The Herndon Woman's Club prepared for Wreaths Across America
at Chestnut Grove Cemetery for many months.  Logistics
and restrictions became necessary as the rise of covid cases
increased as we neared December 19.  Along with Arlington
National Cemetery and 2,500 other locations, changes were
necessary to include no large gatherings as a way to
insure the safety of everyone.

The Town of Herndon requested we keep the number of our club
members at a minimum to place  the 863 wreaths at the Cemetery. 
A brief and quiet ceremony was held and ceremonial wreaths
were presented for each branch of service.
Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard,
Merchant Marines, POW/MIA

Those in attendance wore masks as they
located the veteran graves and placed the stakes.  On a
snowy December 19, 863 wreaths were placed.  The members
were pleased to THANK each veteran by name and
thank them for their service.
