Members of the Disabled American Veterans, local Chapter No. 33, placed Christmas wreaths on “fallen hero” chapter members graves at Tahoma National Cemetery as part of Wreaths Across America ceremonies last month.

Ceremonies were held across the country on Dec. 13. The goal of the wreath laying ceremony is to honor and show respect for departed veterans at Christmas time.

Chapter No. 33 in Kent has 93 veterans interned at Tahoma National Cemetery in Covington.
