ESPRIT Page 15 Last December our unit participated in Wreaths Across America. This event took place in Salisbury NC at the Salisbury National Cemetery. We joined friends veterans and familes to honor fallen veterans at the annual wreath-laying ceremony. It was a rewarding experience this holiday season for our unit to assist with the placing of wreaths on the soldiers graves in support of Wreaths Across America. - Submitted by Alvin Chanthirat Unit Webmaster Mecklenburg County NC Young Marines Mecklenburg County Supporting Wreaths Across America Young Marines Help at a Senior Facility in Florida at Christmas...

Veterans past sacrifices allow us to be able to experience the things we most love today. On the sixth of December 2015 I was honored to share a magnificent day with veterans at the West Los Angeles Vet- erans Hospital. During the course of the day our unit spent time going from room to room giving veterans Christmas gifts and thanking them for their service. During one of our stops a couple of Young Marines and I had the pleasure of meeting a WWII veteran Mr. Riley as well as other veterans. It was inspiring just being able to see the joy on their faces as they took some time to share with us great stories about their lives and their outlooks. It was one of the greatest experiences for me and for my unit. For me it made me stop to think and realize what the Christmas season is really about its a special time to give back not expecting anything in return.
