In case anyone is wondering what happens to it, this wreath is now taken up, instead of deteriorating in the weather, it will be available to use in patriotic events throughout the next year!

Many thanks for the Stones River chapter of the Sons of the Revolution (SAR) to place the special wreath at the Memorial Monument at the square. This year's wreath was lovingly made by Rachel Walker in memory of her dad, Terry, who loved attending this service each year as an US Army Veteran.
