Xaverian Students Bring Wreaths to Barkaloo Cemetery for Annual Veterans Remembrance
Thanks to the Xaverian Key Club, Wreaths Across America – the national movement that sees volunteers and communities coming together to remember the nation’s fallen by funding wreaths for the graves of veterans – was commemorated at the borough’s smallest cemetery on Dec. 14.
Barkaloo Cemetery, which shares a block with the co-ed Bay Ridge high school, is home to two headstones that mark where Revolutionary War soldiers were buried over 250 years ago.
The small, grassy site is renowned as a local landmark.
