As part of the annual Wreaths Across America program, volunteers placed wreaths on the gravesites of veterans at the Nebraska Veterans Cemetery in Grand Island to remember and appreciate the sacrifices made by our service men and women. 

Central Nebraska Veterans Treatment Court officers, participants, mentors, and family members attended the ceremony. Eon Lemberg, husband and marine veteran of Veterans Treatment Court Officer, Taylor Lemburg, was instrumental in getting Walnut Middle School students involved with this annual event.
