Volunteers placed wreaths on veterans’ graves at San Marcos City Cemetery during National Wreaths Across America Day on Saturday.
The City of San Marcos’ Parks and Recreation Department joined Wreaths Across America’s mission to “remember, honor and teach” for the fourth year. San Marcos City Cemetery served as an official location for the annual event.
“We are all proud to be Americans that live in a free society made up of many people, from many walks of life,” Mayor Jane Hughson said during a ceremony held during Saturday’s event. “The freedoms we enjoy today have not come without a price. Lying here before us and in cemeteries throughout this nation are men and women who gave their lives so that we can live in freedom and without fear.”
