REDSTONE ARSENAL, Ala. (November 16, 2016) -- The U.S. Army Redstone Test Center, or RTC, joined with the Huntsville/Redstone local chapter of Team Red, White & Blue to lay wreaths on veterans' graves at Maple Hill Cemetery on November 16.

The initiative, put on by Wreaths Across America, was a coordinated effort during the holiday season to show respect and honor those who have given their lives for our country.

"RTC is proud to partner with Team Red, White & Blue," said Col. John Jones, RTC commander. "Any time we can honor our veterans and remind our community of their unselfish service, we do our best to take advantage of that opportunity," said Jones.

"It's an honor to remember the lives of those who gave all and to participate in the humbling event."

RTC has developed a strategic community outreach plan aimed at serving and honoring veterans' causes and supporting education in the Tennessee Valley.
