FORT BRIDGER — The American Legion Auxiliary troop committee put Wreath’s in all the cemetery’s around Bridger Valley and Lonetree.
Usually, the Auxiliary also does Mckinnon, but was not able to get into it because there was very deep snow drifts.
“We do this in remembrance of the veteran’s who have passed away,” Leila Dean said. “The wreath’s will be on the graves until the end of December. We decided to do this on or as close as we could to the Date of Wreath’s across America.
“There is also a small ceremony performed as the Wreaths are set out. The name of each veteran is read and they thank them for their service. We hope if you get a chance that you will go out and see the wreaths.”
Dean also said the ALA Troop Committee and the American Legion would like to thank the VFW, Cub scout groups, FFA group that came out and helped put out the wreath’s in all the different cemetery’s. “It helps that these clubs are willing to come and help us to be able to show that our veteran’s are not forgotten at this time.”
