Wreaths Across America

The Hendricks(on) Family Association of NJ is proud to
announce the placement of 7 Ceremonial Wreaths that will be placed at the
Hendrickson Family Burial Ground in Holmdel, NJ. This is done in conjunction
with Wreaths Across American honoring our veterans who have served and kept our
nation great. Wreaths Across America is the organization that places wreaths at
Arlington National Cemetery in Washington DC and is made up of volunteers.



 



The ceremony will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday
December 14, 2013. The Hendrickson Family Burial Ground is located off Beau
Ridge Drive, just off S. Laurel Ave. in Holmdel. The event is open to the
public.

The Hendrickson Family Burial Ground was destroyed in
2010 and the Hendricks(on) Family Association of NJ is working to restore the
cemetery to its original condition.  This
event honors the five solders of the Continental Army (American Revolution),
one soldier from the War of 1812 and one soldier from the Civil War. Also
interred in the cemetery are the founders of Holmdel Township, NJ and a NJ
State Senator.
