Each wreath placed is called a Veteran's Wreath and they are filled with symbolism. Ten separate balsam bouquets are put together, each with a separate message: Faith, love, strength, honesty, humility, ambitions, optimism, concern, pride and, finally, hopes and dreams. The evergreens stand for longevity and endurance; the red bow -- stands for great sacrifice. The scent of the wreath symbolizes purity and simplicity, while the circle form of the wreath is the symbol of eternity.
