Wreaths Across America - Quantico National Cemetery

I went to Quantico National Cemetery yesterday to visit my dad and brother and took these pictures. The wreaths were laid this past weekend as part of the nationwide "Wreaths Across America"event to honor and remember our lost veterans during the holidays.

 

For those who do not live local, Quantico National Cemetery is a military cemetery located outside Quantico Marine Corps Base in Virginia and was created to be the back-up to Arlington National Cemetery. As I grew up here many of my childhood friends have family that also rest here. If you are ever in the area please visit. It is a touching, beautiful place and makes you really feel and think.
