A group of PSEG Long Island employees, including Margaret Stanco of Greenlawn, recently participated in a nationwide campaign to honor fallen service members by laying wreaths at their gravesites for the holidays.
This year, more than 50 co-workers supported the Wreaths Across America movement at both Calverton National Cemetery and Long Island National Cemetery at Pinelawn.
Volunteers lay wreaths each December – on National Wreaths Across America Day – at more than 2,500 locations across all 50 states and many U.S. territories, including Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, D.C., Long Island’s two national cemeteries, and on working military vessels. The movement is an effort to “remember our fallen U.S. veterans; honor those who serve; and teach children the value of our freedom.”
