AUBURN — As part of the holiday tradition of partnering with Wreaths Across America, the Civil Air Patrol is calling for its partners and its parent organization, the US Air Force, to help with this year’s Section 60 project at Arlington National cemetery.

Section 60 is the final resting place for about 9,000 men and women, many of whom were killed in Afghanistan and Iraq. This is the first year the entire Section 60 has been opened to Wreaths Across America and CAP, whose annual goal is to lay a wreaths at the foot of every U.S veterans’ gravestone as well as at memorials.

In December, more than 200,000 wreaths will be places at Arlington and at other veterans’ grave sites in each of the nation’s 50 states and dozens of other U.S cemeteries and memorials o. foreign soil. There will be over 535 wreath-laying observances, with CAP leading and assisting with many of them, including the national cemetery at Arlington on Dec. 11.
