BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KERO) — Penny Martinez is on a mission, and time is running out! The Air Force veteran is leading a charge to collect the final 1,000+ wreaths for this year's patriotic display in December. Wreaths Across America places the ornament at every headstone in participating cemeteries. The holiday decoration reminds family and friends that their sacrifice has not been forgotten, especially during the holidays. You have until November 28th to join in the effort.
