Wreaths across America visits Western Mass.

PHOTOS BY GREGORY A. SCIBELLI Wreaths Across America has developed a mobile display that continues to evolve and change. The trailer now travels throughout the region and was in Western Massachusetts a couple of weeks ago. The 29th Masonic District together with the Agawam Lions Foundation, Inc. worked together to bring the mobile display to the region. The mobile display seeks to teach communities about service and sacrifice in an interactive, story- telling platform. Representatives from the Agawam W.A.A. team that placed nearly 8,000 wreaths at Massachusetts Veterans Memorial Veteran’s Cemetery in 2020 were also on hand.
