No matter rain or shine, Kimberly Morris knew how she wanted to start her day.

"You just have a peaceful feeling up here, you always do," Morris said. "It just feels nice. And there's so many people. I mean, the weather is bad. But there's still so many people here, so it's heartening."

Experiencing her first wreath cleanup at Bath National Cemetery, Morris is one of the many volunteers retrieving wreaths left on veterans graves during last month’s ‘Wreaths Across America’ Day.

"Turnout is very good this year," assistant fire chief Michael Cornish said. "It's actually up from other years prior. Everything in this event has been donated and volunteered. Time, effort, the wreaths."

With nearly 100 volunteers and over 4,000 wreaths to be cleaned up, Morris knew it could take just one person to make all the difference.

"My dad is a veteran and several of my family members," Morris said. "I never did it before so we came to help pick them up."

With many first timers excited to continue the tradition, and honor our fallen heroes.

"With everything going on in the world, it's just nice for everybody to come together and, you know, forget about the outside stuff, the bad stuff and just, you know, do something peaceful that makes you feel good," Morris said. "It really gives you a good feeling. It really does."
