Memorial Day is on Monday, and while most of us have off work, we have to remember what we are celebrating. This week, we pay homage to all those who fought and died serving our country by speaking with a guest who spends her spare time helping do just that. Brinnly Schwartz is the Local Coordinator for the National Cemetery of the Alleghenies Wreaths Across America program. Each December, volunteers of Wreaths Across America make sure over 2 Million gravesites of fallen soldiers and spouses over 3,700 cemeteries have a hand made wreath places on their headstones to honor those who served. This week, Brynnly stops by the studio talk about the origin of Wreaths Across America, why she got involved, the logistics that go into the event each year, how you can help, and more. Thanks for listening and enjoy the episode.
