REMEMBER the Fallen - HONOR those who Serve - TEACH our children the value of Freedom.
Welcome to Boise Composite Squadron's Wreaths Across America Page.
Each December, the Boise squadron partners with the Idaho State Veteran's Cemetery to remember and honor our veterans. Our Cadet-led Honor Guard is an integral part of the opening ceremonies and all of our Cadets and Senior Members lay Remembrance wreaths on the graves of our country's fallen heroes.
You can help us honor and remember as many fallen heroes as possible by sponsoring remembrance wreaths, volunteering on Wreaths Day, or inviting your family and friends to attend with you.
Thank you so much for supporting Civil Air Patrol's Boise Composite Squadron and Wreaths Across America!
