Albion seventh-graders joined a big group in placing the wreaths. Social studies teacher Shawn Ragonese and two of his students pay their respects at the cemetery.
The students are greeted by Nancy Traxler, director of Veterans Service Agency in Orleans County. She is also vice president of the Western New York National Cemetery Memorial Council. She served as the keynote speaker during a ceremony on Saturday.
The group is shown with Elizabeth Haibach from the Orleans County DAR.
