The Greenleaf Cemetery Wreaths Across America project is sponsored by Brownwood’s Welcome W. Chandler chapter of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas. Their goal is to honor with a wreath each of the 2,000 veterans buried at the cemetery.

The wreath-laying ceremony will be Saturday, Dec. 17, at 10 a.m. at Greenleaf Cemetery. The public is invited and encouraged to attend the free event and experience the emotional task of placing a wreath at a soldier’s grave. Proceeds will benefit the upkeep of the cemetery.
