TYLER, Texas — Communities across East Texas are preparing to honor veterans for National Wreaths Across America Day happening Saturday.

This gathering of volunteers and patriots takes place in local and national cemeteries in all 50 states, most recently at more than 3,100 participating locations, as part of National Wreaths Across America Day, according to Wreaths Across America Executive Director Karen Worcester.
