Wreaths Across America Comes to Freehold
Olive Branch Lodge #16 will be placing wreaths on the memorial crosses in the center of Freehold on Saturday, Dec. 10.
A new organization, Wreaths Across America, has set a goal of placing wreaths on all veteran graves in the United States. In order to complete that goal, members of the Freehold Olive Branch Lodge #16, Free and Accepted Masons will place wreaths on the memorial crosses at Elks Point in Freehold this weekend.
The goal of placing wreaths on all Veterans graves in the United States is made possible by the financial support of business professionals and clubs along with public contributions.
“It is an honor and a privilege for the Masons to be able to perform this act of remembrance,” Ed Adamek, past master of Olive Branch Lodge #16 said.
