Once again the St Croix Squadron participated in the annual Wreaths Across America event at the Ft Snelling National Cemetery in Minneapolis Minnesota. Almost all the cadets and seniors attended and participated in this years event by helping with setup and placing specialty allocated wreaths at various monuments in the cemetery. This year two members of our squadron had special duties and honors associated with the event. 2nd Lt Kimberly Larson provided Sign Language Interpretation for those attending, and Cadet 2nd Lt Evan Ekstrand sang both the National Anthem and 3 verses of Silent Night.
Thank you to Major Scott Richardson for acting as Project Officer for this activity.
