The 26th Annual Corrections Memorial Wreath Laying Ceremony honors Corrections Personnel who have lost their lives in the line of duty. Each year, all Corrections Personnel from around the nation who have been recognized in the prior year as having lost their lives in the line of duty are recognized, as are all local Corrections Personnel who have lost their lives in the line of duty. An Honor Guard Competition of local Corrections Honor Guards will follow the Wreath Laying Ceremony.
