Wreaths Across America in
Bridgeport
by John P
Simko, PER - CEA Coastal District PR Chairman
|
On Saturday, December 10th at 12Noon at over
600 cemetery's across America more than 100,000 wreaths were laid at
Veterans gravesites in a ceremony named "WREATHS ACROSS AMERICA". In
Bridgeport, at the Mountain Grove Cemetery the Bridgeport ELKS Lodge
#36 held a ceremony to honor our fallen heroes and laid wreaths on
their final resting place. With the assistance of the Catholic War
Veteran Post 1466, the Bridgeport Police and Army National Guard
Engineering Battalion Honor Guards a brief but solemn ceremony was
held prior to having lay more than 400 wreaths across the the
cemetery.
Sgt. Major Veronesi lead the ELKS, Veterans and American citizens in
the 'Pledge of Allegiance" and the singing of our National Anthem.
The flags were lowered as Taps were played by a lone bugler.
Bridgeport Lodge PER Matt Frankel organized the event which included
gathering donations from ELK lodges from across the State to pay for
these wreaths. He gave a brief but poignant speech about these
fallen heroes prior to the laying of the wreaths on their grave site. Matt mentioned that we should take the time to read the
name of each fallen hero prior to the laying of the wreath and
remember that if it was not for them, by giving the ultimate
sacrifice, we would not be here. Also in attendance were CEA PSP's
Charles Carroll and Alan Baranyai, CEA State Tiler Joseph Trovarelli
Jr., DDGER Ed Baranyai Jr., Bridgeport Lodge ER Ed Baranyai,
Bridgeport Lodge officers and members. Bridgeport City Council
President Tom McCarthy was also present and spoke.
