DENVER, Colo. (NNS) – Sailors from Navy Information Operations Command (NIOC) Colorado laid wreaths on the gravestones of fallen service members in observance of National Wreaths Across America Day at Fairmont Cemetery, December 14.
Service members, veterans, and volunteers came together in a joint effort to honor fallen service members at cemeteries across the United States.
Six ceremonial wreaths were laid at the base of one of the monuments in the cemetery to honor five service members and all POW/MIA veterans. Following the ceremony, volunteers set out to cover Fairmont Cemetery with wreaths to honor all of the fallen heroes’ gravestones.
Cryptologic Technician (Collection) Petty Officer 2nd Class Johnathan Selby, who participated in the ceremony, expressed what the event meant to him. “I had a feeling of immense pride and perspective; that no matter what there is always more we can do in service of our great nation. I am blessed to follow in the footsteps of those who gave gone before me.”
