HART- Saturday December 8, 2012 at (time TBA)

The HART (Honoring Allies and Remembering Together) Ceremony starts a week of honoring, remembering and teaching events all around the country. The ceremonies  recognize the service of all veterans, including young men and women from Canada who are serving or served in the U.S. Military. The day begins at sunrise at West Quoddy Head Light in Lubec, Maine, the first place in the United States the sun touches every day, with the Wreaths Across America Escort group and guests placing  a wreath and offering a prayer.

We will meet at 5:30 a.m. at the Machias Motor Inn parking lot and proceed to West Quoddy Head.

Later that morning, members of several national organizations including the Civil Air Patrol and the Air Cadets Canada gather on the Ferry Point Bridge between Calais, Maine and St. Stephen, New Brunswick, and the Ambassador Bridge between Detroit Michigan and Windsor, Ontario, to place wreaths in honor of the service and sacrifice of veterans of the allied nations.

The wreath-laying ceremonies are sponsored by Wreaths Across America™. We also provide wreaths to our Canadian allies for placement at the Centatoph Memorial Monument in St. Stephen.
