For Ken Vybiral, Volunteer Resources Coordinator for the PA Soldiers' and Sailors' Home, the sights and sounds never gets old.

"It never seems to fail," Vybiral said. "The support that comes out from the community and how much it means."

Wreaths across America involves millions of volunteers nationwide, but at the PA Soldiers' and Sailors' Home, hundreds of community members helped place wreaths on more than 1,300 graves in the Veteran's Memorial Cemetery on Saturday. It is the only veterans home in the Commonwealth that maintains an active veterans cemetery.

"A lot of our grave sites date back to the late 1800s, so for a lot of the grave sites here, this will be the only time all year that someone comes and pays their respects for their service and sacrifice," Vybiral said.

Chas Wagner took time out of his weekend to volunteer at the North East Cemetery, one of the over 4,200 locations for Wreaths across America.

"Compared to a military cemetery where everyone is a veteran, you just go right down the row," Wagner said. "But [for] this, we got to look for some of the wreaths."

The weather conditions also made it a bit more challenging.

"That gets a little tricky with a couple feet of snow," Wagner said.

But no matter the age, Wagner believes it is a beneficial history lesson for honoring veterans.

"We're always looking for peace," Wagner said. "Until that comes, we have veterans that sacrifice. Many of them sacrifice a lot: their life."
