Service Project

It was a cold but sunny Saturday morning on January 3rd, but four really tough cadets, one parent and two leaders showed up to removed wreaths from the Veterans' Cemetary in Bluffdale after Wreaths Across America ran its course. The group had to probe and dig for many, and found about half the number placed on that December morning. Because of a White-out at that time, few could remember where the wreaths had been placed, which required a lot more searching for removals. Apparently the Cemetary must remove those wreaths because of machinery and other constraints.

There will be another day set aside to collect the rest of the wreaths as soon as weather permits. Cadets can receive service ribbons for participating in this kind of Wing Project. Kudos to cadets Stewart, Mount, Olivares and Daily for braving it, and to Stephanie Mount for much appreciated support.
