Wreath-Laying Ceremony on Saturday

 

As part of the nationally observed Wreaths Across America Day each December, a brief ceremony will be held at 1:00 PM on Saturday, Dec. 14, at the Pittsburg State University Veterans Memorial.

 

The mission of the annual day, to “Remember, Honor and Teach” is carried out by coordinating wreath-laying ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery, as well as at more than 1,400 additional locations in all 50 states, at sea, and abroad. The ceremony will be under the direction of PSU ROTC and will last approximately 15 minutes. Cadet Jonathan Gonzalez will serve as the emcee, and Lt. Col. Charles Costello, professor of military science, will offer remarks.

 

To conclude the ceremony, former service members will place wreaths on stands by memorial seals that represent each branch of service.
