It was an honor for VA nurse emeritus , Margaret Kruckemeyer to help lay wreaths at the gravesites of veterans who did so much to ensure the freedom we Americans enjoy today.
Most of the 8,300 wreaths for this year’s Wreath Across America event were placed on gravesites after the noon WAA honoring ceremony at Dayton’s National VA Cemetery by volunteers from Dayton community
However, one wreath needed to travel to Woodlawn’s historic cemetery where another highly respected military leader and her veteran husband Dr Stanley Earley lay in rest . Best known for her leading the 6888th BN that shattered many records in overseas mail delivery during WW II as well as being known as first all black women US Army group, Charity Adams-Earley continued to nurture and create opportunities for young black women in Dayton “to be the the best they could be “ to achieve careers in all professional areas of their choice.
