On Sunday Dec 7th at 12:48 pm EST the exact moment the attack started
on Pearl Harbor 73 years ago. A Military Tribute wreath containing flags
for all branches of the service and the American and POW/MIA flag was
placed at the Williams County Veterans Memorial below the US flag to
honor all that perished that day.The wreath is also to remember all who
have served and honor those serving now in our nations military. Placing
the wreath were WWII veteran Feron Betts of Bryan Vietnam veteran Bob
Funnell of West Unity American Legion post 669 and Doris Kingerski of
the Ladies Auxiliary of post 669. Also in attendance were Noe and Debbie
Hernandez of Ossian, In and Mike Frybarger of West Unity.

The annual Wreaths Across America ceremony will take place at Floral
Grove Cemetery east of West Unity on Co. Rd. K next Sat. Dec 13th
starting at 10:30 am with the ceremonial wreaths being placed at 12:00
sharp to coincide with the ceremonies taking place at over 1000
locations nationwide. Everyone is invited to attend the event with hopes
of other communities starting their own at their local cemeteries. I
believe it was Calvin Coolidge that said…”A nation that forgets it’s
defenders will itself be forgotten”.
