Brig. Gen. Scott Cain, 96th Test Wing commander and his daughter, talk to Retired U.S. Army Lt. Col. Sam Lombardo during the first local Wreaths Across America ceremony Dec. 19 in Fort Walton Beach, Fla. The wreath-laying event is a tribute to our veterans and symbol of a grateful nation. Each time a wreath was laid, the veterans name was said aloud. More than 1,700 veterans are buried at Beal Memorial Cemetery. (U.S. Air Force photo/Ilka Cole)
