On December 5, 2009 the Blue and Gold Star Mothers, Fathers, Siblings, family members and veteran groups came together to help a NH Gold Star Mother in honoring her son's memory by laying wreaths at the NH Veterans Cemetery in Boscawen, NH. 
A veteran who is also a proud Marine Dad put together these two slideshows.
1. Preparing the wreaths
2. Laying of the wreaths
We hope you enjoy these slideshows.
Thank you Anne, Jean and James for letting us be part of your dream |

Wreaths of Remembrance ~ We had several towns last year place a Wreath of Remembrance at their town's memorial. Towns that participated were Derry, Barnstead, Gilford, Brentwood, Meredith, Wolfeboro, Raymond, Merrimack, Suncook and Lancaster just to
name a few. 
The precept is for each town to hold their own ceremony at the town's War Memorial on either Saturday, November 28th or December 5th to honor all our Military at Noon. To accomplish this will require the involvement of all the local VFW Posts, AL Posts, various Veteran groups, and the communities.
