BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KERO) — Penny Martinez is on a mission, and time is running out! The Air Force veteran is leading a charge to collect the final 1,000+ wreaths for this year's patriotic display in December. Wreaths Across America places the ornament at every headstone in participating cemeteries.
