Master of Ceremonies Jeff Hulsizer said, “The United States of America was founded on the ideals of Freedom, Justice and Equality. Our Nation stands as a shining beacon of liberty and freedom to the world. We thank those who gave their lives to keep us free and we shall not forget you. We shall remember.” Representatives of military branches of service placed additional wreaths on the graves of those who have recently given their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan.
