Members of Troy Historical Society are preparing to decorate veterans’ graves in the seven Troy (Idaho) area cemeteries with wreaths as part of the Wreathes Across America Program. The program has been headed by Janet O’Conner and Charlene Purtee, Lt. Col. USAF retired, whose garage was filled with the boxes as they were delivered from the National Program. Other members of the Troy Historical Society promoted the program by soliciting sponsors for each of the veterans. There are a combined 230 veterans among the seven cemeteries in the Troy Cemetery District. The program has been headed by Janet O’Conner and Charlene Purtee, Lt. Col.

Members of Troy Historical Society are preparing to decorate veterans’ graves in the seven Troy (Idaho) area cemeteries with wreaths as part of the Wreathes Across America Program. Each cemetery will have eight wreaths at the entrance with an American flag, a red bow and one of the eight service flags representing the seven services: Army, Navy, Coast Guard, Marines, Air Force, Space Force, wartime serving Merchant Marines, and the POW/ MIA flag. The veterans in the cemetery will have simple wreaths with a red bow. The wreaths mark their resting place whether or not they have a military headstone.

This handsome pheasant is a regular visitor to our backyard. He earned the nickname of Swartz for his dazzling dark colors. Planted in the area by the Idaho Game Bird Foundation. Like all pheasants he doesn't stay around and pose so this was snapped on the 24th of October just before he left the neighborhood. Photo by Karen Purtee, rural Moscow, Idaho.
