Susan Ford Bales, daughter of the late President Gerald R. Ford, is presented the children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren wreath by Sgt. Alicia Young, Michigan National Guard Funeral Honors Team, during the Wreath Laying Ceremony at the tomb of President Gerald R. Ford, July 14, 2016.
The ceremony is a combination of two special traditions. The first is part of a long tradition of the United States Presidency. The Presidential Tradition is conducted on the birthday of each deceased president. The incumbent president sends a tribute wreath to be presented by a military officer at that deceased president’s tomb. The second tradition is a personal one established by Mrs. Betty Ford. Her instructions were that persons who were special to President Ford be included, along with the military, Boy Scouts, and organizations who were important part of the President’s life.
