The Big Lagoon Kiwanis Club, with help from the Bailey Mid- dle School Builder’s Club and the K-Kids Club, along with several other local area non-profits, will place the wreaths at veterans’ head stones to honor veterans and provide an excellent opportu- nity to teach younger generations about the value of their free- doms and the importance of honoring those who sacrificed so much to protect those freedoms. In 1992, 5,000 wreaths were donated by Morrill Worcester and Worcester WreathCo. Years later, in 2005, an iconic photo of these wreaths in snow became a viral sensation.
