Wreaths ceremony is Saturday

The annual Wreaths Across America ceremony at the Montana Veteran’s Home is Saturday, starting at 10 a.m.

The ceremony will start inside the Montana Veteran’s Home where ceremonial wreaths will be placed, recognizing all branches of the military and POW/MIAs. Attendees should enter through the south entrance near the cafeteria. We have achieved our goal of having a wreath for every grave at the Montana Veteran’s Home Cemetery this year due of the generosity of our community, Students will assist Montana Veteran’s Home residents in placing memorial wreaths as part of our goal to teach the next generation about the sacrifices to honor and protect America’s freedom. 

Speakers this year are former Montana Legislator Dee Brown and Army Montana National Guard Capt. James Rolfing from the Kalispell Battalion. The Columbia Falls High School Sonifers directed by Emily Hackethorn will sing the National Anthem and other holiday songs. Our Chaplain is Father Sean Raftis. Dana Scranton will perform taps.
