Wreaths Across America Ceremonies at Capitol & Veterans Cemeteries
Wreaths program promotes veterans remembrance.

CARSON CITY, NEVADA, DECEMBER 7, 2009 – The third annual Nevada Capitol holiday wreath laying ceremony honoring our nation's veterans and service men and women will be held on Monday, December 7, 2009, at 10:00 a.m. on the steps of the Capitol building. The Battle Born Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) is sponsoring the ceremony. The DAR invites anyone interested to attend.

FERNLEY & BOULDER CITY, NEVADA, DECEMBER 12, 2009 – Along with ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery and hundreds of locations throughout the country and overseas, the two Nevada Veterans Memorial Cemeteries will participate in Wreaths Across America on Saturday, December 12, 2009. The ceremonies will begin at 9:00 a.m. The Northern Nevada Veterans Memorial Cemetery is located at 14 Veterans Way in Fernley and the Southern Nevada Veterans Memorial Cemetery is located at 1900 Buchanan Boulevard in Boulder City.

The Wreaths Across America non-profit group was formed in 2007 to promote the annual laying of wreaths to “remember the fallen, honor those who serve, and teach our children the value of freedom.” It is an extension of the Arlington Wreath Project, which began in 1992 with the laying of 5,000 wreaths at Arlington National Cemetery. Last year there were more than 300 ceremonies held in every state, Puerto Rico, and 24 overseas cemeteries. More than 100,000 wreaths were placed on veterans’ graves. The wreaths used at all locations are the same as those placed at Arlington National Cemetery.

NOVS was created in 1943 to provide assistance and services to veterans, their family members, and residents of Nevada serving in the Armed Forces of the United States. The Agency has three programs: Veterans Benefit Assistance, Veterans Cemeteries (Boulder City and Fernley), and a Veterans Nursing Home (Boulder City). There are approximately 339,000 veterans residing in Nevada eligible for these services.

Battle Born: Nevada War Stories

Battle Born: Nevada War Stories is a new project being launched by the office of Lt. Governor Brian K. Krolicki. Based on a long tradition of wartime works, it will be a collection of video and audio tapes from Nevada veterans of the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT), detailing their personal stories as they interpret and remember them. The Battle Born project will be a lasting and moving tribute to those who have so bravely defended our country since 9/11.

The Lt. Governor’s staff, including a former Army captain and GWOT veteran, will travel to all 17 of Nevada’s counties to meet with veterans and record their stories of personal courage and sacrifice. In choosing the participants, special attention will be paid to representing service members from all branches and rank of the service, and from northern, southern and rural Nevada.

Interested participants can e-mail Caleb Cage, Senior Policy Advisor, at cscage@ltgov.nv.gov. There will also be sign-up sheets at the 2nd Annual Veterans Conference, which will be held September 12, 2009 at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. For more information, please visit ltgov.nv.gov.
