This wreath is given in honor of my Grandfather for his courage and bravery. It is my honor along with the Republican women of this County to support those who have put their lives on the line to preserve the freedoms we Americans enjoy each and every day. With grateful hearts we thank each U. S. Serviceman and woman for their service and sacrifice. Many blessings, Denise Bubeck
