TYLER, Texas — Despite rainy weather, participants laid remembrance wreaths on the graves of veterans, ensuring their sacrifices are never forgotten at a Wreaths Across America event Saturday at the Tyler Memorial Funeral Home and Cemetery.
"It’s such a meaningful way to give back and show respect," said Janie Carlock, the Wreaths Across America coordinator for the Tyler Civil Air Patrol Squadron. "Sponsoring a wreath is a tangible way to honor our service members, and anyone can participate."
