VALLEY CENTER, Kan. (KSNW) – During the holiday season, many reflect and remember. A nationwide initiative called Wreaths Across America is a tradition that honors and remembers those who made the ultimate sacrifice. In Valley Center, that tradition helps the younger generation learn and be inspired.
Boy Scout Nicholas Naschino says this is not just about placing a wreath but the meaning behind it.
“You know the saying, you know, ‘All gave some and some gave all.’ And I think that’s very true,” he said.
Boy Scout Kayden Lankford, just like Naschino, is grateful to have this firsthand experience of the importance of honoring sacrifice.
“It’s our duty to serve our community. And a scout is reverent, so we’re just out here laying wreaths in honor of them,” he said.

Placing wreaths, one by one, to honor veterans.
“I hope we just have a new sense of respect for our veterans and just an appreciation for what Boy Scouts is able to do for the community,” said Lankford.
