Wreaths Across America Mobile Education Exhibit honoring veterans will stop in Florissant with a special ceremony on Nov. 19 By Wendy Todd In December of 1992, Maine businessman Morrill Worcester, who owned a family-run wreath making business, donated extra wreaths to put on veterans’ graves in Arlington National Cemetery. This informal act of patriotism sparked a tradition that has been carried out by the nonprofit, Wreaths Across America. In addition to the tradition, WAA has a created a Mobile Education Exhibit honoring veterans that is visiting cities across the country including Florissant. The exhibit, which was created in 2017, will be
accompanied by a ceremony sponsored by the Reverend John Clark and O’Fallon Chapters of the Daughters of the American Revolution on Nov. 19. The exhibit and event have been designed to bring communities together and celebrate those who have served the country. “The goal of the Wreaths Across America Mobile Education Exhibit is to bring community together and teach patriotism while remembering the service and sacrifice of our nation’s heroes,” said Karen See ‘HONORING’ page 2
