The Redmond David Douglas Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), is sponsoring a Wreaths Across America event (WAA) with Cedar Lawns Memorial Park and Cemetery in Redmond at 9 a.m. this Saturday.

In 2011, volunteers at more than 500 locations across the United States laid wreaths on veteran’s gravesites. Cedar Lawns is one of 19 locations in Washington state that will coordinate the event with Arlington National Cemetery.

Redmond Mayor John Marchione will be in attendance, as well as other City Council members.

The ceremony will feature participation from Redmond VFW Post 2995, a color guard, scout troops and a taps player. The event is held rain or shine with a covered tent, chairs and refreshments courtesy of Cedar Lawns.
