BRIDGEWATER, N.J. (NEWS CENTER) – Veterans and Gold Star families in the Wreaths Across America convoy embarked on day four of their journey to Arlington National Cemetery Wednesday morning.
The convoy left the hotel in Bridgewater en route to Manville High School for a ceremony with students there.
Dozens on the trip will then visit the Vietnam Memorial Museum in Holdmel.
Many on the trip have spoken about the importance of the display of patriotism Vietnam veterans have been able to witness on this trip—something they did not see when they returned from war because of the political climate at the time.
