Welcome to the CA0797 - Bakersfield Republican Women, Federated Wreaths Across America Page.

After the program, around 9:45 am, the public will assist Wreaths Across America in Remembering and Honoring our veterans by laying Remembrance wreaths on the graves of our country's fallen heroes and the act of saying the name of each veteran aloud.
