Please Support our advertisers 20 -- THE TR TIMES -- Friday, December 20, 2019 Wreaths are placed at the Veterans Memorial by Marilyn Long The Placing of the Wreaths was held on Tuesday, Dec. 10 after the Christmas social. It took place in front of Busch Hall at the Veterans Memorial. The program started with a prayer from Rev. Anthony Shipe, followed by everyone singing “God Bless America.” Darold Long had a short message that focused on thanking the veterans. He said, “Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier. One died for your soul the other died for your free- dom.” He expressed our appreciation and gratitude for the sacrifices made for our Country by our military men and women. Ten veterans marched in carrying the wreaths and stood at attention in front of each flag. Taps were played followed by the veterans placing the wreaths at each of the flags. Thank you veterans for a wonderful ser- vice. Photo by Margaret Emmetts A series of wreaths decorate the memorials of each branch of service. Inside Busch Hall The park is pretty at night
