I had inquired on an earlier thread regarding this wreath-laying ceremony whether wreaths were placed on the grave sites of soldiers in the Confederate section of the cemetery. The earlier thread stated a wreath would be placed on EVERY grave site in the cemetery, thus the question.

Wreaths were to be placed on all sites except the ones displaying the Star of David. My in-laws died within 6 weeks of each other this past spring and are both there now. Despite the weather, it was a hardy, friendly crowd. Met so many that came from out of town just to participate. I didn't get into the Confederate section but am confident some did. The weather was miserable but I heard absolutely no whining, pretty amazing in itself. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, folks.
