  • Joan Raffa (center) and her grand-daughter, Kat, carry armloads of wreaths to decorate grave markers at the Northern California Veterans Cemetery in Igo. More than 200 people, some relatives and others simply volunteers, decorated more than 900 graves locally as part of the national Wreaths Across America program. In total, more than 151,000 wreaths were placed at 400 state and national cemeteries in the United States and 24 national cemeteries located on foreign soil.
  • Holiday decor honors those veterans who served their country and willingly offered even their lives in sacrifice for the nation's freedom and safety.
