As our nation observes Veterans Day, we're reminded of the importance of honoring those who served and sacrificed for our freedoms. Each December, our community gathers at Veterans Park to continue that tradition through the Wreaths Across Monroe ceremony—a local tribute held in coordination with the national Wreaths Across America program.

Alongside local veterans' groups, youth organizations, and community members, we'll place wreaths at Monroe's veterans' monuments in remembrance of those who gave so much.
