The Kentucky Department of Veterans Affairs is again teaming up with Wreaths Across America to place wreaths on graves at the state’s veterans’ cemeteries. The flower arrangements are donated by the national nonprofit, and Juan Renaud, the department’s deputy commissioner, said family members of the veterans play a big role in the ceremonies.
“The host of Wreaths Across America has a presentation in the beginning. And they'll have a guest speaker that comes in and then they'll let everyone go out to the various sections of the cemeteries. And then usually we try to let the family members in those sections go out and place those wreaths themselves first.”
