Jim Brown and the Post 24 Legion riders braved a cold Florida morning to escort the delivery trucks to Sarasota National Cemetery and along with Commander Alvarez and approximately 1,500 friends spent the morning placing 8,000 wreaths in tribute. It was inspiring to see young and old gathered together for this worthy endeavor.
