Wreaths Across America Stops at Oak Hill Academy en route to Arlington National Cemetery

On Wednesday, December 12th, the Wreaths Across America procession arrived at Oak Hill Academy in Middletown. Wreaths Across America is a nonprofit organization that places wreaths on the graves of many of our service members throughout the country, including all 400,000 graves at Arlington National Cemetery. Oak Hill Academy had the distinct honor of being one of the stops on the Wreaths Across America convoy on its route from Maine to Virginia. The school held a presentation that paid homage to our veterans, Gold Star/Blue Star families, and dignitaries. The school is committed to instilling the motto of "Remember, Honor, Teach" to their students and for future generations. We thank Wreaths Across America for choosing Middletown as a stop and are privileged to be a part of this beautiful tribute.
