Idaho State Veterans Cemetery on Memorial Day — The 2021 Memorial Day commemoration will be a full in-person ceremony.

Every December, wreaths are placed at each headstone at the Idaho Veterans Cemetery. The program was recently taken over by the Idaho Veterans Network, and they need community support to ensure that every grave gets a wreath this year.

Ron Bowers and Jake Faulkner, State Veterans Cemetery Bureau Chief, joined Idaho Matters to talk more.
