Saint John's Cemetery is going to become the first cemetery in Jackson to partner up with Wreaths of America. 

They have 2,100 soldiers buried at the cemetery, dating all the way back to the Civil War. 

The cemetery is collecting fifteen dollar donations from people in order to cover each fallen solider's tomb with a wreath. 

This program started twenty five years ago and the cemetery's manager Brian Mick says, it is about time they honor the fallen heroes.
