Mary Owen hugs her grandson, Jordan Tolson, 10, after placing a wreath on the grave of her husband, Billy Dewayne Owen, a Vietnam veteran, at the New Albany National Cemetery on Friday afternoon. The Hazelwood Middle School fifth-grade class participated in a wreath laying ceremony at the cemetery to honor veterans for the holiday season as part of Wreaths Across America. Students like Tolson with family members buried in the cemetery were given the opportunity to place wreaths on their graves. Staff photo by Christopher Fryer
