In 2010, six people gathered at the West Point Cemetery to place 117 wreaths as part of the Wreaths Across America program. On Dec. 3, 2011, more than 100 people from across New York and Pennsylvania gathered to place about 1,750 wreaths.
West Point’s Track and Field team was among the group of volunteers.
Dr. Todd Crowder, a co-coodinator for the event, said the goal is to one day fill the entire cemetery.
There is another ceremonial Wreaths Across America event on Dec. 6 at 1530 in the West Point Cemetery. All are encouraged to attend.
