    Edith T. Nowels, at podium, praises the actions of her brother World War II Medal of Honor recipient Cpl. Horace M. Thorne as Soldiers and Airmen of the New Jersey National Guard participate in a Wreaths Across America ceremony in the Registry Room, also called the Great Hall at Ellis Island, Jersey City, N.J., Dec. 10, 2014. Each year, WAA coordinates wreath laying ceremonies at the national and state veteran's cemeteries to remember and honor every fallen military service member during the holiday season. This year's ceremony will be held Dec. 13 at Arlington Cemetery, as well as New Jersey's Brig. Gen. William C. Doyle Memorial Cemetery near Wrightstown. Ellis Island served as the entryway for millions of immigrants entering the United States from 1892 to 1954. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Master Sgt. Mark C. Olsen/Released)
