Post 236 hosted the Wreaths across America at the Artondale Cemetery with support of the Artondale Cemetery Association, Peninsula Veterans Honor Guard, South Kitsap HIgh School NROTC, and many community volunteers. The weather pretty much was on our side. Those that participated were thankful that Post 236 brought this program to Gig Harbor.
