CHEYENNE — The Wyoming Veterans Fee invitations the general public to attend a ceremony for Wyoming’s state remembrance wreath Dec. 12 on the Wyoming State Capitol.

The Wyoming Veterans Fee will host the ceremony. Featured audio system can be Gov. Mark Gordon and the adjutant common of the Wyoming Nationwide Guard, Maj. Gen. Gregory Porter.
The custom of donated wreaths started in 1992 in Harrington, Maine, when the Worcester Wreath Firm donated their surplus wreaths to embellish the graves at Arlington Nationwide Cemetery. Volunteers place thousands and thousands of veteran wreaths on headstones at greater than 3,400 collaborating places across the nation in honor of the service and sacrifices made for our freedoms.
This 12 months, as in previous years, wreaths are donated for particular ceremonies to every state capitol, with a 38-inch ceremonial wreath for the U.S. Capitol. Each wreath is made specifically and donated by the Worcester Wreath Firm in Maine.
This annual occasion seeks to additional the WAA mission of “Bear in mind. Honor. Educate.” Their mission is to make sure that the reminiscence of those that served and are serving our nation endures. The remembrance wreath will stay on the Capitol rotunda all through the vacation season.
