Airman 1st Class Paige Weller, 96th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, kneels at the foot of a veteran's grave 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)
