Roscommon Post #96 participated in this year Wreaths Across America National Remembrance Ceremony on December 17, 2016 for the first time. Based on the community involvement, our Post was able to honor 80 Veterans graves in several local cemeteries. The Post, though small in numbers, took this on as a Service Project and will continue this ceremony in years ahead based on our first year response from the community.
