Delmarva-DC participates in Wreath-Laying Ceremony at Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
Recently, Delmarva-DC Church of God had the honor of participating in a wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Arlington National Cemetery overlooks Washington, D.C. and is where dozens are laid to rest every day.
Atop a hill in the cemetery this location specifically remembers each unidentified American soldier. The inscription on the back of the tomb reads, “Here rests in honored glory an American soldier known but to God.”

Delmarva-DC Administrative Bishop Thomas A. Madden, along with three pastors from the region who previously served in the military proudly placed a wreath at the tomb as a way to honor and remember each one who fought for our freedom. Others who have laid wreaths at this location include the President of the United States, as well as visiting heads of state.
Those who participated in the ceremony with Bishop Madden were Pastor Tim Houston, Pastor Carlton Cannon, Sr., and Dr. Aaron Jones. Many from the region came to show support and to honor the soldiers.
“We (Delmarva-DC) were extremely thankful for the opportunity to participate in such a memorable ceremony, Bishop Madden stated.
