Wreaths Across America To Stop In Manville

MANVILLE, NJ — The Wreaths Across America convoy will be making a stop in Manville on Wednesday as it makes its way from Maine to Arlington National Cemetery.

It is anticipated that the convoy will arrive at Manville High School, 1100 Brooks Boulevard, at 9 a.m. There will be limited access to the ceremony inside the school, which is set to begin at 9:30 a.m.

As a result the borough hall will have a delayed opening of 11 a.m. due to the convoy stop.

The event hopes to remember, honor and teach locals about veterans who have lost their lives by coordinating wreath-laying ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery, as well as more than 1,200 additional locations in all 50 states, at sea and abroad.
