Over 2,000 wreaths arrived at the Missouri State Veterans Cemetery at Bloomfield for the Wreaths Across America program to be held Saturday, Dec. 13, at 11 a.m. The community contributed enough money to the annual event to provide enough wreaths to put on every grave site at the cemetery. The event is held at 11 a.m. Central Standard Time at Bloomfield to coincide with program at Arlington National Cemetery at noon. Seven ceremonial wreaths will be laid in honor of the various branches of the military.
