 Color guard with Senator Oelrich
On December 15th, the Gainesville and Suwannee Valley squadrons
participated in the nationwide observation of Wreaths Across America by
placing wreaths at the Veterans Memorial at Kanapaha Park in
Gainesville. The ceremony was designed to coincide with one taking
place simultaneously at Arlington National Cemetery.
Distinguished guests included Alachua County Veterans Services
Director Jim Lynch, and State Senator Steve Oelrich, who gave a special
address. The Colors were posted by the Florida Wing Color Guard.
Wreaths representing each branch of service and POW/MIAs were placed by
local CAP members. This marks the second year the ceremony has taken
place in Gainesville.
