ZEELAND — Members of the Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution recently laid wreaths on the gravesites of 58 veterans at West Drenthe Cemetery in Zeeland.
The project was part of National Wreaths Across America Day on Saturday, Dec. 16, and signifies a continued commitment to honor and remember the sacrifices made by fallen heroes.
Cyndie Hartmann, media chairperson, said DAR chapters and members have participated in wreath-laying for many years. The Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton Chapter has supported the mission since 2019.
“By sponsoring a wreath, we're supporting a yearlong mission to remember the fallen, honor those who serve and teach the next generation the value of freedom,” Hartmann wrote via email.
“Members feel pride and gratitude to honor and remember our fallen veterans. It's profoundly rewarding to participate in this touching event, which we look forward to each year.”
