There is no better time to express our appreciation than during the holiday season for those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. The surrounding San Diego community gathered for Miramar National Cemetery’s annual Wreaths Across America ceremony to give their support to friends and family who have lost loved ones.

Col. Jason Woodworth, commanding officer of Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, speaks at the Miramar National Cemetery during the annual Wreaths Across America ceremony, Dec. 17. Wreaths Across America is a nationwide event with a mission to remember, honor and teach newer generations about the service and sacrifice of American veterans.

Wreaths Across America honored fallen service members Dec. 6, 2014 by coordinating wreath laying ceremonies at Arlington Cemetery, as well as veterans’ cemeteries and other locations in all 50 states, ceremonies at sea, and 24 national cemeteries on foreign soil.
