The Blue Star Mothers of Kinzua have partnered with Wreaths Across America to honor local veterans.

On December 16th, the Kinzua chapter of the Blue Star Mothers will be hosting a Wreaths Across America event at Saint Joseph’s Cemetery in Warren.

The memorial service begins at noon and will pay tribute to more than 400 veterans who rest there. During the event, wreaths will be placed on each grave site, honoring the veterans and their families.

"There are 400 veterans laid to rest there, so we are wanting to honor each and every one of those veterans”, said Skyla Govier, President of the Blue Star Mothers of Kinzua.

“We are just hoping that we have good weather and that we have great participation", stated Patti Colosimo, Secretary for the Blue Star Mothers of Kinzua.

"This is something that’s probably never been done there", said Brenda Saporito, Blue Star Mother. "They deserve it, and we are excited to do it.”

The Blue Star Mothers are currently collecting donations for the event to ensure it’s a success. For more information and to contribute, visit here.
