The Dayton National Cemetery is so beautiful. Well kept with lots and lots of history. My hubby and I went there in 12/17 for a wreath laying ceremony. Even tho the crowd was large, Cemetery staff quickly moved the line of cars along so everyone was able to find parking. The ceremony itself was beautiful. Veterans, their military spouses, POW's who didn't come back from the war and members of each branch of the armed forces were recognized and honored. Following the wreath ceremony spectators where invited to help laying wreath onto the graves.
