Wreaths Across America
A friend and HOG member from Fairfax Virginia asked us to post the information for this non-profit organization honoring the soldiers who have served their country.
Hundreds of Thousands of Wreaths will leave Maine on Dec 5th heading to Arlington cemetery and other military cemeteries around this Great Nation. Some will show up someplace near your home town. Now What? They need volunteers like you, your family, and your friends to help place wreaths on head stones of our military heroes on Dec 12th. I believe most locations start around 10:00 AM and take only a couple of hours, but this is based on how many Wreaths the location receives and how many volunteers are there to place them. My HOG Chapter will be out again at the Quantico and some of my friends are going to Arlington
This will be time well spent and some of you will have a tear in your eye, when you look back and see what we have done for our hero’s
Other ways to assist:
1.Please go to http://www.wreathsacrossamerica.org/ to locate a local cemetery participating.
2.You can also sponsor a Wreath for $15 and have it go to a cemetery of you choice.
3.Write an email or send this to all you know, to fly flags and wave banners for our current Troops, and take time to Honor the past .
I wish all of you a Merry Christmas
