I am sponsoring five wreaths! One in memorandum of my late father-in-law, Cornelius "Kenny" Canestrini. He served 24 years active duty in the Army, serving in Vietnam. The four other sponsorships represent, my husband, who is an Army veteran. He served in Desert Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom. At the time he ended his service with Army, he was a Captain.
The third wreath honors my nephew, who is a Major in the United Sates Army. Serving multiple tours in Iraq and one in Afghanistan. He is a West Point graduate and is currently active duty, stationed at Ft. Benning, GA. The fourth wreath is in honor of my son. He is an infantryman, PV-3, enlisted right out of high school.Active duty, assigned to a heavy weapons unit, he is the 50 cal. gunner. He was awardee an ACM. After only one year in. The fifth and final wreath is on honor of my other son who is currently attending medical school and is a 2LT. Upon graduation from medical, he will do his residency at an Army trauma hospital in General Surgery! I am so PROUD of my Army soldiers! They are part of the BRAVEST one percent that our country has to offer!! Truly America's FINEST!!!
