Wreaths Across America Will Be In Branford On Tuesday

BRANFORD, CT - Wreaths Across America will be coming through Branford tomorrow (Tuesday).

It is anticipated that the convoy will arrive around 1:15pm to 1:30pm and will be exiting off of exit 55 and heading west on Route 1 to the Fire Department.

The wreath-laying is still held annually, on the second or third Saturday of December. WAA's annual pilgrimage from Harrington, Maine to Arlington National Cemetery has become known as the world’s largest veterans’ parade, stopping at schools, monuments, veterans’ homes and communities all along the way to remind people how important it is to remember, honor and teach.

Branford police encourage citizens to line Route 1 in safe locations to support the event.

Police said: “We will be blocking intersections for the convoy which will create minor traffic delays.”
