About

Veterans
Park, located at 2438 Margaret St. in North St. Paul is hosting the Daughters
of the American Revolution’s Wreaths Across America exhibit on Thursday, June
30 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. A
ceremonial wreath laying will take place at 10:00 a.m., and a special Welcome
Home Vietnam Vets tribute will take place at 1:00 p.m.  

Wreaths Across America is a mobile education exhibit featuring
interactive exhibits, and short films to educate visitors about the service and
sacrifice of our nation’s heroes. “The goal of
the Wreaths Across America Mobile Education Exhibit is to bring the community
together and teach patriotism while remembering the service and sacrifice of
our nation’s heroes,” said Karen Worcester, executive director, Wreaths Across
America. “Over the last two years, we feel this exhibit has taken on even more
meaning by providing the opportunity for people to safely participate in
something that is both educational and inspiring while supporting and giving
back to the communities it visits.” 

Educational opportunities for children including coloring pages,
craft activities on how to create a wreath, and identify the symbolism of each
wreath will be available throughout the event.  

Wreaths Across America is the non-profit organization best known
for placing wreaths on veterans’ headstones at Arlington National Cemetery. However, in 2021, the
organization placed more than 2.4 million sponsored veterans’ wreaths at more than 3,100
participating locations nationwide. 

The exhibit
is free and open to the public.
